Haywire Homestead
Here at Haywire Homestead we strive for self sustainability on our small homestead of 5 acres in southwest Ohio. We preserve food by canning and dehydrating. We raise Boer goats, chicken and ducks we sell eggs, baby chicks, ducklings and goat kids as well as fresh produce. We have 4 children all boys as well as extended family who help us on this incredible adventure. Join us on our journey as we learn to be more self reliant.
