Butternut Place is a blog about the lost home arts, delicious food, animal husbandry, gardening, self reliance, and ideas.  If you like cheese, pot likker, good wine, great books, DIY projects, warm wood stoves, canning, dogs, chickens, and America, you will also like this blog.  If you are expecting this blog to save  you a lot of money with tips about doing everything yourself, you will probably be disappointed. You can buy many things described here cheaper somewhere else.   However, they probably won’t be as good for you, as much fun, or as sustainable.  And, if you are going to spend money, at least keep it at home. 

Frugality and indulgence really aren’t mutually exclusive.

Stick with me and you will find out how.
