Welcome to My Homestead Farm!

Hello, I’m Lauren, and I’m delighted to welcome you to my homestead. Here, I share our firsthand experiences as we navigate the joys and challenges of homesteading. From transforming a new home without any gardens or animals into a self-sufficient haven, we’re on a journey of growth and sustainability.

Your Story

In the summer of 2023, my husband and I made a life-changing decision to leave the city behind and embark on our homesteading journey. With the arrival of our first child in June, we yearned for a spacious home with ample land to raise our family. Working remotely gave us flexibility in choosing our location, and staying close to family was paramount, limiting our search radius to within two hours of the city.

Finding the perfect quiet retreat away from bustling roads proved challenging amidst a fast-paced real estate market. Eventually, our persistence paid off when we discovered a gem: a picturesque property sprawled across 5 1/2 acres, complete with a barn and four fenced acres already in place. The breathtaking views sealed the deal.

Little did we anticipate the extent of the renovations and expenses our new home would require. Balancing house repairs with establishing our homestead has posed its challenges, but we’re dedicated to overcoming them step by step.
