T-Bone’s Place, LLC
An Un-Modern Farmstead
Build it BOLD—from rabbit watering system hacks to greenhouse gold. Farmstead and homestead systems built on a budget, with ease of use and longevity in mind. Follow along as we show our wins, losses, and lessons learned along the road to sustainable living!
Our Approach
We didn’t set out to build a farmstead—we just started fixing what broke, growing what fed us, and inventing what didn’t exist yet. From rabbit watering rigs slapped together with spare parts, to greenhouse wins that earned one shovel at a time, we’re turning scraps into systems and chores into chapters.
We make living soil from bunny BB’s and forgotten greenhouse corners, most often finding DIY comfort where grit meets grace—that’s T-Bone’s Place. ~ Jacqui Tress
Our process is simple and thoughtful.
Come on into the farm and see what we’re about. We share blogs, vlogs, and honest reviews of places we’ve been and things we’ve used—some we love, and some… not so much. We’re straight shooters around here—the only fluff flying is bunny fluff!
We’re honest about our own follies and flops too (and yes, we’ve had plenty 🥴😊). But we’ve learned from them, and we like sharing what we’ve picked up along the way—maybe it helps you dodge a bumpity‑boop or two. And hey, we’d love to hear your wins too 🫶
(We hope to add a community chat here soon!)
Our Services
Poke around and see what we’ve got to help you move forward, wherever you're headed next.
These are starter buckets—your plants will need to be transplanted as they grow. The living soil they come in isn’t wasted though—mix it right into your new pot or garden bed as a natural fertilizer and root booster.
Step 1: Choose your Bucket Type:
🌱 Bean Blessing Bucket
🌿 Okra Blessing Bucket
🌼 Squash Blessing Bucket
🎲 Mystery Blessing Bucket (Farmer Jax’s Choice - could be herbs!)
Step 2: Choose how many Buckets: Save one-third when you buy 2 or more.
🌱 1 for $9
🌱🌱 2 for $12
🌱🌱🌱3 for $18
**If getting multiple buckets, you may mix and match styles.
We don’t pre-make these or let ’em sit around. Your seeds don’t get started until you order. Once you pick your plant, we get it going in living soil right here in the greenhouse. So yeah—it takes a minute—but it’s being grown for YOU, not pulled off a shelf. This isn’t Blowe’s, ya know…🤭🤣🫶

The Stars of the Farmstead! The ‘Bits
Patches is our headliner. She is a Tamuk doe, and she is about 15 months old. She gave us her first litter of kits this spring and all 10 were just beautiful! We cannot wait until cooler weather prevails again for more of the little hoppers.
Gloria was one of Patches kits from her first litter. She has a really shy temperament, but I felt like she would make a wonderful addition to our breeding program. Gloria is half Tamuk/half Californian.
Rounding out our Bunny Barn, we have Arnold. Little Arnold is new to our barn, and he is just a little tike of probably 16-weeks or so. He is settling in just fine. He is a full blood Californian.
