Our Story

We raise a small herd of cattle, goats and sheep on a little homestead smack dab in the middle of the corn belt. We’re surrounded by farm fields and all the modern conveniences and technology that come with it.

But–we’re not about convenience. The more food we can cultivate out of our own soil, the better.

We learned the hard way that modern conveniences aren’t so great. Our kids we’re sick. The problem? Toxin overload. Our diet was overhauled, our technology choices scrutinized, and several of our “conveniences”–kicked to the curb.

Now, we start out each day by milking, providing our own dairy. We raise our own beef, lamb and eggs. We start the garden in March and end in November, extending our growing season as long as possible.

We’re hearkening back to a simpler time, when skills weren’t so specialized. We use old farm equipment. No computers to troubleshoot–just old fashioned elbow grease paired with a little knowledge and experience.

We’re not against technology-but it definitely has pros and cons. Stick around and we’ll show you just how to use it to your advantage to help keep you, your family, and your farm more secure.

Thanks for stopping by. We hope you not only enjoy a glimpse at life on our Midwestern homestead, but that you’ll join us in this movement back to resilience.
