Why I wanted a Berkey Water Filter for our Homestead!

The Berkey water filter system has become an everyday component of the Richardson family and their lovely homestead.

Kaylee and The Honeystead love conducting workshops at their Apothecary right on their homestead.

They typically host 10–15 attendees at a time.

These hands-on workshops cover topics such as foraging, tea blending, beekeeping and even a fire cider workshop.

When Kaylee and her family forage, they often fill a mason jar with Berkey clean water. One reason for buying a Berkey was to use less plastic. They grew tired of water bottles.

Another main reason they obtained a Crown Berkey is because it’s been tested to remove more than 200 contaminants found in tap, well, creek, river, lake and pond water.

Living on a homestead often requires an alternate source of water. It’s not only necessary for the family, but for any animals living on the homestead too.

This is why a Berkey is the preferred method of water filtration for homesteaders. Kaylee and her family can pull water from any source, run it through the Berkey, and have clean, pure water safe for every living thing on the homestead.

There are more Berkey benefits, though. Watch this video to see all the benefits of owning a Berkey water filter as a homesteader.
