All Around the Homestead
Homestead (n): a home and adjoining land occupied by a family. For us that looks like living in a 130+ year old farmhouse, raising organic grass-fed beef and free-range chickens, continuously dirty children, and a never ending list of projects. Learn more about our farming practices, gather DIY inspiration, or search for recipe ideas below!
Our Farming Practices
grass-fed cattle, free-range chickens, organic garden beds
Our farming journey started ten years ago, when we discovered our first born had several food sensitivities and we needed dependable sources of food. Here we provide glimpses of what homesteading our farm and gardens looks like. We focus on regenerating the land naturally, raising animals organically, and growing our own produce. It’s been an adventure of learning to be self-sufficient and knowing where our food comes from.

What’s Cooking In the Kitchen

My heart for the kitchen comes from Grandma T’s tried and true methods. She cooked from the garden well into her seventies!

These recipes utilize simple, wholesome ingredients and often leave everyone reaching for seconds…or thirds!
