Homestead Kitchens

The homestead kitchen is the heart of the home, and it has different requirements. Lots of counterspace - often filled with jars of fermenting vegetables, kombucha, homemade vinegar and rising bread dough. Space to store a pressure canner and supplies - and all those canning jars, both empty and full! A homestead kitchen is warm and inviting, scented with drying herbs and a braid or two of garlic. Here is inspiration for your homestead kitchen.
