The Hometown Homestead

The Hometown Homestead is my passion project. Here I share our life as a family of 7, growing up in a small, rural town in the center of the U.S.A., where my husband and I grew up.

The focus here is on all things homemade and homegrown, with an emphasis on cost effective solutions that do not sacrifice quality, as well as solutions that make like easier!
