8 Vegan or Vegetarian Homesteading Instagram Accounts to Follow

In the homesteading world, vegans and vegetarians are kind of like buried treasure. Their social media accounts are hard to find, but when you do come across them, they’re never disappointing.

These 8 accounts touch on a variety of different topics from gardening, to ethical animal husbandry, to permaculture, and farm animal rescue. What is even more wonderful, is that each and every one of these accounts is run by incredible and inspiring women that are so kind, so encouraging, and such a joy to follow.

Here are 8 of my very favorite vegan or vegetarian homesteading accounts to follow on Instagram, in alphabetical order.

Azure Farm

Annette and her husband Jared live on a little slice of paradise in Georgia. They recently added a baby girl to the family and their Instagram stories are always entertaining and full of fun and sometimes unexpected adventures. What’s not to love about their adorable alpacas, vegan meal inspiration, gorgeous garden and scenery, and excellent resources.

It took countless hours, effort and learning to make this photo happen. I had to create raised beds, nutrient dense soil, sow seeds and weed the garden. I had to harvest and prepare this food and learn to can it. I learned how to keep bees and jar honey. I wanted to make homemade kombucha so I taught myself about fermenting with a SCOBY and flavoring the tea with flowers from my garden. This photo pretty much sums up my entire homesteading goals—working the land to feed my family the healthiest food I could. So much more fills these little jars than just it’s processed contents. .. Left to right: Rose kombucha Peaches in light syrup and dilly beans Black beans Tomato sauce Dilly beans and crushed red pepper Chamomile blossoms (dried) and honey .. The theme @iamcountryside this week is #canning. Share what’s cookin!

Deanna of Homestead and Chill

Deanna’s account teaches me new things every day when it comes to gardening, fermenting, preserving, and natural health. She created the most incredible suburban oasis filled with gardens for growing food and bringing in the pollinators. She recently launched a blog that is incredible, and she even raises Monarch butterflies! Deanna is vegetarian, and also shares photos of her feline friends and small chicken flock. With over 145.000 followers, her account is well-loved by all!

🏡 The front yard garden, from the roof 🌿🦋🌻🌵🐝 Maybe one day we'll invest in a drone 😹 . . For new folks around here, here's the deal: yep, this is our front yard! It doubles as a second back yard for us, because our property is set back off the street, tucked behind another property – accessed only by our long private driveway that's to the left there. It used to be all weedy grass, no plants or trees worth mentioning… We tackled it in 3 major stages to remove the grass, put in raised beds and gravel, the pollinator zones, and finally – the next fence and expansion into the driveway on the left side almost a year ago. The trellises, vines, and fruit trees were added here and there throughout the years. We have been in this home for 6 years. . I always encourage people working on their space to dream big, but remember that it doesn't happen overnight! Enjoy the process. I will eventually write up a blogpost about the steps we took to transform this space, but for now you can see a lot of the steps and some tips under #deannafrontyardgardenreno 💚 . #homesteadandchill #growfoodnotlawns #createyourownparadise

Apple processing day! These Yellow Transparents only stay decent for about a week after picking, so we use them for sauce and chips, leaving the later varieties for storage. This is about 50 pounds, so we've got our work cut out for us today. I'll share some of the process in my stories. First up: no-peel apple sauce (cuz I'm lazy and that's where all the goodness is!). . . #summerapples #applesauce #homemadeapplesauce #nopeel #applechips #preserving #preservingtheharvest #instagramhomesteaders #canadianhomesteaderscollective #growyourfood #gyo #sustainablefood #100footdiet #backyardtotable #victorygarden #foodsecurity #applesfordays #orchardfruit #orchardlife #organicallygrown

Farm Luxe

Misha of Evergreen Acres Farm has been vegetarian her whole life, and has a huge heart for animals. She lives on a dreamy hobby farm on a small island in WA. On her account she shares photos of her rescued animals, garden to table vegetarian meals, the most vibrant flowers, and of course her abundant garden. On Evergreen Acres Farm there is even a luxury farm stay for farm dreamers who want to getaway.

So I have this dream… (haha, and so it begins 😬) of opening a little farm-to-table vegetarian dining experience on our farm. Maybe it accommodates 10 people in an amazing greenhouse dining set up… and maybe it only happens once per week by reservation only. And just maybe it starts out with cocktails by the fire pit, and includes a farm and garden tour. I don’t know how practical it is, or if my husband would ever go for it, but it’s something I’ve thought about ever since we moved here. Right now we don’t even have a proper venue for that, so I’ll just keep on dreamin’ …. but don’t say I didn’t put it out there in the universe! ✨✨✨👩🏻‍🌾🥕🌽🥦🍅🥔🍠🥒 Now tell me about one of your distant dreams, c’mon It’s fun!

Jeanie of AJ Wild Way Farm

Jeanie lives in the North just like we do, on a beautiful homestead in New Hampshire. Jeanie is a vegetarian with a big heart for animals. Her account features dahlias, bees, monarchs, horses, chickens, ducklings, colored eggs, and lush gardens. If you love any of those things, you will love her account and the inspiration that she shares.

Any day now, baby ducklings… . . . Duck eggs typically take 28 days to hatch, but Muscovy eggs take 35 days. They are the only domestic “ducks” not derived from mallards and aren’t really ducks at all but rather “large perching fowl”. If you’ve ever owned or met muscovies you may notice that they’re more like geese than ducks. They prefer eating grasses, have a similar incubation period, and they don’t quack. (They’re very very quiet actually) #ducklings #largeperchingwaterfowlings ⬅️😂 #muscovy #muscovyducks #ducks #ducksofinstagram #homesteadinglife #freerangeeggs #backyardpoultrymag #iamcountryside #myview #gardening #geese #homesteading #chickens #eggs #fresheggs #babyducks #countrylife #newengland #iamamodernfarmer

Meet ‘Biggie Smalls’ … I posted about being contacted by a local to take in this newborn baby goat. Her landlord said the mom rejected him and if she didn’t find him a home, he’d be shot. Of course we had to take him. But the financial and physical responsibility of taking on a 12-hour old goat is straining. The formula, vet visits, neutering, enclosure all adds up… and having a baby animal that relies on you to bottle feed it every few hours is a lot! Thankfully many of you donated towards his care but we’ll still need a bit more to float us through the next few months. Thank you all for being so involved in the Wild Heart mission. Together we’re doing great things 🧡 Sweet little fact: Biggie likely shares the same dad that Poppy and Dandy had… he came from the same farm and looks just like them 💘

The garden strangely provides me with company when I’m lonely. Does anyone else relate? It’s as if the garden talks to me, tells me stories, and asks me questions, and all the birds, bees, and insects sing me songs. • • It was a lonely weekend. Chris was gone spending time with friends out of town, and I was in charge of the farm. Of course I love the farm, but it’s not a life I would have signed up for on my own. It’s definitely not the same without my partner. So when I felt lonely this weekend, I made sure to take a minute and spend it in the garden, and it was a place that didn’t feel so lonely. It felt so full of life. • • I’m grateful for a weekend where I was a little lonely. It reminded me of just how much we need each other. A beautiful sunrise, delicious food, laughter, it’s just not the same alone. And when your rooster attacks you and you feel bummed out, it’s certainly better with someone by your side to encourage you and laugh it off with you. • • Thankfully, Chris is back home, and I couldn’t be happier.
