Our Homestead

Homesteads come in all shapes and sizes, ours may not be big but does well for our growing family. Follow our homesteading journey by following us on Facebook.

• 2 Acres (1.5 open, .5 wooded).

• Started with a 25'x20' garden almost 3 years ago.

• Our soil is very rocky and took a lot of work to get it ready for planting.

• Last year (2020) we added a 30x30 plot for corn and potatoes.

• This year (2021) we will be expanding the 30x30 to 50x30.

• In 2021 we added a small chicken flock! Meet the Girls here!

• We have many wild berries on the property that we make our jams from. (Black Raspberry, Blackberry, and Wine Berries)

• We have a lot of wildlife that we enjoy watching on a regular basis.

• We try to practice sustainable strategies such as composting and crop rotation.

• We have one of the largest Tulip Poplar trees in Frederick County and MD!

• We store many of our excess produce by canning or vacuum sealing.

• One goal for starting to sell our products is to be able to afford chickens
