********** WELCOME to our YouTube channel at Centennial Roots!
While hesitant about leaving our home behind now two years ago, I was thrilled with the prospect of bringing the Robertson Century Farm back to life. The house, with its orange shag carpet and green linoleum, had sat empty for 12 years. Empty of people anyway. The house was still completely full as if the grandparents would walk back in any day. The farm was beginning to show signs of neglect – downed fences, rusted tools, and more wasp nests than you could count. The family had kept it in great condition considering they also had farms and families of their own. But we knew it would be a “roll up your sleeves” kind of endeavor. What we discovered was well worth the task. So much history was stocked away in corners and closets and barns and basements. We have learned so much about the last 165 years since the family originally homesteaded this land, and we plan to share the past journeys, present activities and future plans with you as we make our way through this new but old life. Welcome to Centennial Roots Homestead. Reviving and sharing the old-fashioned ways of life on the homestead from pasture and garden to farmhouse and kitchen. Join us here and in hands-on workshops! While I have been "homesteading": canning, gardening, cooking, and more my whole life the family century farm has given us a great opportunity to share our knowledge with others.

We hope you'll subscribe & become a part of our YouTube family! Hit the bell to never miss a video! Thank you so much for visiting!
