Do you know someone with a mini farm that’s hard to shop for? These gifts for homesteaders are the best things you can give all those hobby farmers in your life. Whether they’re big on gardening, baking, or raising chickens there’s something here to delight them.
Most of these would make great gifts for holidays, but I also love them as housewarming gift ideas for someone who recently started a homestead. You could also just use this as a fun shopping list to find fun accessories for your very own small-scale farm!
Since all the homesteaders I know (including myself and the ones in my family) tend to lean more practical with their wish lists, I tried to stick to fun and practical gifts on this list too.

Egg Gathering Apron
Keep eggs safe and hands free while you go around the chicken coop each morning. This egg apron comes in both kid and adult sizes, great if homesteading is a family affair.
Crop Farmer Knowledge Tin Sign
Even if all the information on this metal sign doesn’t directly apply to whoever you’re gifting it to this still makes a cute country themed home decor item that will look great in any farmhouse.

Farm Themed Garden Clogs
These sturdy shoes are a great alternative to ruining your everyday footwear or wearing rubber boots in the garden. Comfortable and washable, they’re a must-have for any gardener. Even better with fun farm themed prints like this one with cows!

Personalized Homestead Sign
This would be a great for a couple or as a housewarming gift idea for someone who just bought a homestead. Personalize it with their last name and the couple’s anniversary or move-in date.
Sourdough Starter
It might have been the trend over lockdown but homesteaders have been baking sourdough from starters since… Well, since bread was invented, really. If they haven’t gotten in on the homemade bread trend, though, get your homesteader friend or family member a sourdough starter so they can start baking.
Bread Proofing Basket Set
Speaking of making homemade bread, it’s also nice to have some dedicated bread making supplies on your homestead too. This set comes with a variety of handy tools that most people don’t think to stock in their kitchen.

Reusable Bread Bags
These are super handy for any baker to keep loaves of homemade bread fresh and soft (but not mushy) until you’re ready to eat it. They’re also just great as reusable storage bags too.
Buy on Amazon
Beehive Starter Kit
Most homesteaders and hobby farmers like to have a variety of ways to make food on their property. Beekeeping is a growing trend, and definitely one worth exploring if you have the space. Why not get them set up to try out this fun hobby with a starter beekeeping set like this one?

Personalized Egg Stamp
These are so cute for homesteaders and hobby farmers who sell or give away their extra eggs. You can have it customized with their farm or family name for a cute (and unique) gift idea.
Reusable Bowl Covers
I have some of these and I absolutely love them. Besides proofing bread (which they’re great for), you can also use them to cover food for short periods or to keep bugs off when eating outside. Love all the different pattern options, so cute.
Flannel Shirt
You can’t be a farmer without owning at least as few flannel shirts. There’s good reasons why these are so popular; they’re really practical for yard work and homestead chores. This would be a great homesteader gift for a guy in your life too.
Buy on Amazon
Ball Electric Canner
As someone who cans from my own garden I know how stressful managing the stove top pressure canner can be. This electric canner would be an amazing gift idea for a homesteader who wants an easily option for fall canning. Plus you can use it anywhere you have power, not just the kitchen!
Buy on Amazon
Personalized Egg Collection Basket
This is just plain cute. It could be used to collect eggs on the homestead or just as a decorative piece for a farmhouse kitchen. Home decor items are usually my go to gifts for hard to shop for homesteaders.
Bow Knife
The bow knife is probably the most ideal way to slice fresh homemade bread; even better than a regular bread knife! Pair it with a beautiful cutting board for a thoughtful (and practical) holiday or housewarming gift idea any homesteader will love.
FoodSaver Vacuum Sealer
My mom has one of these and they’re absolutely the best thing ever. You can use it for splitting bulk purchased meats, storing hunted meat all season long, meal prep, freezing garden produce, and so much more.
Buy on Amazon
Baseball Cap
Homesteaders spend a lot of time outside. That means they really can never have too many hats! Grab something cool, comfy, and hardy like these Carhartt brand hats. They’re technically men’s (which is great for those hard to shop for guys) but come in a range of colours that suit both men and women.
Buy on Amazon
The Backyard Homestead Planner
You don’t need a tonne of space to do at least some homesteading in your own backyard. This planner helps you figure out what’s possible, plus timing on when to do it. Great for homesteads of every size!
Buy on Amazon
Personalized Canning Labels
Personalized single use gifts like canning jar labels are perfect gift ideas for hard to shop for homesteaders. If you don’t know what they already have you know at least this will come in handy eventually on the farm.
Hand Massager
If you’ve ever spent hours in the garden or in the kitchen you know how sore your hands can be. This is especially handy during the busy fall harvest season when you’re working against the clock as well as your own body’s need for rest.
Buy on Amazon
Chicken Daddies Wall Calendar
Everyone needs a little thirst trap in their lives. If your homesteader friend or loved one is into men (of all body types) dressed in tutus around the chicken coop then they’re going to love this calendar. It comes out every year with a different outfit theme, so this might just be your next gifting tradition.
Hopefully some of these gifts for homesteaders and hobby farmers helped inspire you to find something for the folks in your gifting list. If you’re still not sure what to get try these gift ideas for a country next.
