Small scale farming,
homesteading &
living with intention

Our Story

I am a too-many-generations-to-count homesteader/farmer. I love advocating for the good things in life: self-sufficiency, inspiration, and purpose. Join me for hysterical stories, hard lessons learned, and some “What just happened??” moments.

Our Animals

We have quite a cast of characters on the farm. I suspect every farmer says this (but it’s really true here!). There are some that only stay for a short while and there are others that are here for life.

These are my people.

“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.”

Last year all my red poatoes had brown spots, also known as potato scab. It was bad seed that was susceptible to the damp growing conditions we had. I burnt all the plants and rotated the crop.

Horse show truths :

We think we are doing the right thing: Activities so they don’t have a spare moment to get into trouble, ordering clothes on credit so they fit in, letting the schools have the hard talks, products from China in our Amazon carts, and the subway drive thru with the apple slices. We glorify busy and easy, and everyone’s welcome to the table.
