Why we’re now listed on Trusted Blogs – and what the platform offers us (and maybe you too)

Many small blogs are written with heart, thoughtfulness, and real value – yet they often go unnoticed. If you don’t have a massive Instagram following, don’t run ads, and don’t optimize every post for SEO, it’s easy to get buried online.

That’s exactly where Trusted Blogs comes in. It’s a platform that makes blogs visible – without forcing us to change our content or invest in reach we can’t afford.

We’re now officially listed. And that’s no coincidence.

What is Trusted Blogs?

Trusted Blogs is a German-language platform that has been connecting and promoting blogs across all kinds of topics since 2015. You can think of it as a blog search engine, a topic directory – and at the same time a space where bloggers and brands can connect for partnerships.

For readers:
It offers topic-based discovery and interest-based blog search. No social media pressure. No distractions.

For bloggers:
It’s completely free to join. Once listed, your blog appears in their search engine, gets indexed more effectively on Google, and can be featured in topic roundups or editorial campaigns. You can also apply for brand partnerships if you choose to.

Why we joined

For us, it was clear: our content needs visibility – not to sell, but to connect.

We write about topics that don’t go “viral” – but go deeper:
Permaculture, self-sufficiency, transition, craftsmanship, inner trust.
And those are exactly the kinds of topics that deserve a fair chance to be discovered.

What convinced us?

  • The search function that allows readers to find blogs focused on sustainability, gardening, DIY, or Canada – and maybe discover ours along the way.

  • The opportunity to collaborate with brands that share our values – not based on follower counts, but on alignment.

  • The sense of community: Trusted Blogs doesn’t see itself as an ad platform, but as a space that strengthens independent voices.

What does it actually do for us?

We hope for:

  • Long-term visibility through our listing on trusted-blogs.com

  • Collaborations that actually fit us (no fast fashion, but maybe sustainable tools or educational projects)

  • Occasional recommendations from the editorial team – in newsletters, on social media, or in themed blog roundups

In short: We’re expanding our reach. Without compromising who we are.

Why this step matters to us

For us, Trusted Blogs is not a tool for self-promotion. It’s a way to become part of something bigger – a diverse blogging landscape that proves there are voices that matter beyond the mainstream.

Small blogs like ours help preserve and share knowledge, lived experience, and new perspectives. Platforms like Trusted Blogs make this diversity visible and accessible.

We believe in content that doesn’t have to be loud to be heard.
In conversations that aren’t driven by trends – but by real questions.
In digital spaces that don’t just connect superficially – but offer real depth.

If you also write – or read – because you want to make a difference:
Maybe Trusted Blogs is a good place for you too.

Together, We Achieve More!

What It Would Take to Feed Yourself

This article shows, step by step, what it would take for two adults to feed themselves from their own land for a full year. We translate nutrient targets into concrete crop choices and areas: calorie staples (potatoes, sweet potatoes, winter squash, roots), protein from dry beans, soy, lentils and lupins, leafy/brassica greens, sauce and summer vegetables, grains and pseudograins for bread and pasta, plus fat-rich seeds, berries, fruit trees and nuts. Realistic field and storage losses are budgeted; processing (canning, fermenting, milling, flaking) and storage needs are built in. The result is a practical, cool-climate-ready plan with total area requirements, seasonal workload, and resilient meal building blocks that keep plates filled year-round.

Planning your vegetable garden: goals and eating habits

Before you order seeds or design new beds, it helps to step back and ask two simple questions: what do you want your garden to do for you, and how does your household really eat? When you align garden goals with your everyday meals – instead of an idealised wishlist – planning suddenly becomes clearer, more realistic and far easier to sustain through the season.
