Our Story

In the fall of 2021, we packed up our family (3 kids, 6 hens, 1 cat, 1 dog) and all our dreams and moved West to a sweet historic farm on the outskirts of Berthoud and Longmont. The dream of homesteading was one we have entertained and read about now for the 17 years of our marriage. Maybe it was a global pandemic, the treacherously long commute for Aaron from Greeley to Boulder each day for work, or the fact that we were now fully homeschooling our kids, but it was likely the combination of all three as well as other factors at play. If not now, when? If we want our kids to be the type of people to take chances, to risk failure at the possibility of growth, shouldn’t we start by modeling it ourselves?

So, here we are. Beginning our journey as homesteaders and resurrecting a historic property and it’s land with livestock, gardening, and permaculture practices that so many are doing all around our globe to make a dent in the food we consume and the health of our planet. We want to be a part of that solution, even if it’s on a small scale and foster a community of others who wish to do the same and want to be a part of this journey with us.
