Write for Us

We’re open to guest posts, but they have to fit. This isn’t a place for recycled content or surface-level advice. We’re looking for people who actually do the work — raising animals, growing food, cooking from scratch, fixing things as they break, and figuring it out as they go.

A few things that matter

  • Write like a real person, not a content machine
  • Keep it practical and specific
  • Skip the fluff and big statements
  • Share what worked, what didn’t, and what you’d do differently

Have an idea? Send a short pitch and a couple of writing samples to editor@waddleandcluck.com.

Product Testing & Reviews

We do test products — but only the ones that make sense here. Anything featured has been used in real conditions: in the garden, in the coop, or in the kitchen. If it doesn’t hold up, it doesn’t get written about.

We’re open to

  • Tools and equipment
  • Kitchen gear and pantry staples
  • Garden supplies
  • Feed, bedding, and animal-care products

Not interested in scripted reviews or one-off promos. If you want something considered, send details to editor@waddleandcluck.com — what it is, how it’s used, and why it’s worth testing.

Homesteader

I’m Lindsey — the writer, homesteader, and somewhat accidental chicken wrangler behind Waddle and Cluck homesteading blog. This blog started as a way to slow down, dig in, and remember that joy is often found in small, imperfect things — like backyard eggs or a muddy harvest.
