So you will get your drying rack sooner. We are very excited for the new direction this change will bring. We are ready to start on a long awaited filming project. Our heart has always been to grow non-GMO, chemical free, organic food, and we want to get serious about it. So filming and farming is where this family is headed. Mark and Erin are helping us walk into a long awaited dream, and we know our drying racks are in good hands. To celebrate the new merge of the two families we are hosting an enormous giveaway valuing ($304.00 in new products) Six Prizes - Six chances to win 1st Grandpa Jakes Campfire Cooker ($139.00 value) 2nd One handcrafted Peddler drying rack (49.00) 3rd Homesteading for Beginners vol.

I really, REALLY would love to see those homestead videos. And I have tried the powdered greens, and they are excellent. They have made a huge difference in my days, and I highly recommend them. I'll certainly be reordering them!!

It is a toss up between the clothes rack and the cool cooker. I really love all of those things.

I would really love to have one of the clothes racks. The only other ones I have found tend to turn over when you get them full of clothes but I like the way these are designed. Please enter me in the giveaway! Thanks!

I love the homesteader drying rack! Here in the Pacific NW using an outside line isn't possible much of the year and other drying racks are too small for the 9 of us.

Well, I am definitely pining for one of those grain mills ! But I think I have a better chance of talking hubby into the Pioneer clothes rack sometime in the near future !

I Love the Homestead drying rack. And your pricing. I just bought a wooden drying rack the size equivalent to the Pioneer and it was $200
