Favorite 2021 Posts: It’s All About Pickles and Homesteading

When the pandemic started, we turned our efforts to sourdough and baking. But 2021 turned sour – as in pickles!

It’s always interesting to take a look back and review the year. For me personally, 2021 was a busy year filled with writing two books, followed by a serious health issue. Thus, I didn’t add as many new posts to the site as usual. But some old posts became even more popular!

It was the year that you made pickles! And a few other things, but many of the most popular posts are about pickles and pickling. Oddly, I made fewer pickles than ever before in 2021, as my cucumbers barely produced due to our locally weird weather.

There’s definitely a theme there, but my newsletter favorite posts were entirely different. Newsletter subscribers were busy experimenting with several homesteading skills during 2021.

I love digging into data and I was on a roll! Which caused me to ponder, “I wonder which posts were the least favorite?” It was a bit surprising.
