HOMESTEADING
Learning the Old Ways, Right Where You Are
Discover practical homesteading skills rooted in old-fashioned wisdom from growing and preserving food to raising animals and creating a peaceful, purposeful homestead.
ROOTED IN HERITAGE, LIVING THE OLD WAYS WELL
Maybe you’re growing a few herbs on the porch, maybe you’re tending a small flock of chickens, or perhaps you’re just beginning to wonder what “living closer to the land” really looks like.
Wherever you find yourself, you’re welcome here.
Our family has worked this land for generations, raising cattle and sheep, planting gardens, and preserving food through every season. Over time, we’ve learned from both the good years and the hard ones, and those are the lessons I want to share here. You’ll find practical, down-to-earth ways to grow and provide, no matter where you live, even if it’s just a porch garden or a backyard coop. We hold fast to the old-fashioned methods that still work while incorporating the simple modern tools that make homesteading more approachable for today’s families.
If you’re ready to start learning the old ways in your own home, here’s where to begin.

Behind the farm
Hi, I’m Megan
I’m a fifth-generation farm girl carrying forward the lessons and rhythms passed down through my family’s Appalachian homestead. I share what I’ve learned from generations before me and what I’m still learning now: how to live simply, work with what you have, and find peace in the steady work of home.
Whether you’re on a few acres or just starting with a small space, you’re welcome here. Together, we can keep these old ways alive, right where we are.
I’m so glad you’re here!
