What part of homesteading do you need/want to learn more about?

We started as a farm page. My hopes now is to just chill with ya'll and educate.

We have experience in hunting, trapping, butchering, gardening, farming all kinds of livestock, turning any part of your farm into profit, and food preservation!

Unlike a lot of starting out Instagram homesteaders that bring beautiful esthetics to your phones, we bring 15+ years of experience to the table and .... not esthetics...

Drop your comments and tell us what'd you'd like to see here!

**Cool tomato because... it's a cool tomato. (Say it like tom(ah)to when you read that.)

While most people would be hesitant about teaching a class on the skill that pays their bills, I've always believed that my character is what keeps the customers coming in, and that competitors are a blessing to the local economy.

If you'd like to see in person the process of which I am soft tanning furbearing pelts- November 8th is your chance!
Please reach out with any questions and fill out the form below to sign up! This class will only have 10 spots.

Visits to our taxidermist friend and summer garden evenings. 🥰

We are swimming in produce. 😅 It's been years since Ive had to deal with this type of abundance!

This week- Pizza stuffed zucchini, lots of Sautéed beans, and a big container of pickle dip for dunking veggies into.

I've uploaded tons of our fur stock onto the website.

We ship all over and are happy to accommodate any additional photos, measurements, or videos of fur that you may need to help make your decision! :)

We list our coyotes individually, because every coyote is so unique, we want you to be able to really pick out which one you want.
**More coyotes coming soon.

If youd like to see these furs in person to pick one out, please give us a call and come on by to the shop!

Dragon tongue beans are one of my most favorite things out of the garden.

They are beautiful but most importantly, they can get huge and still be tender in the frying pan!!
