✨About Us:
We have been homesteading for over 10 years. It started with some backyard chickens in the city and grew from there–as it usually does🤣. We are homesteading on a limited budget and with limited time. Our homestead isn't perfect or very aesthetic, but we promise to be super real and authentic. We’ll show what is really going on and not just the perfectly curated version. We’ll share the good, the bad, the laughs, and everything in between. Thanks so much for hanging out with us:) It means the world.❤️
