Hello and welcome to our little corner of creation. We are on a mission to steward our homestead well (the animals, the land, & all who enter our door) and encourage others to do the same through shared stories, recipes, and projects. Our life revolves around our HOME. We homestead, we homeschool, we homebirth, and in all that, we believe the driving purpose of our home is to advance the Kingdom of God. Our children are our primary disciples, as we engage with our community through business, fellowship, and mentorship.
VINCENT: he is the leader of this bunch; a hardworking, skilled craftsman, farmer, and visionary. He owns and operates our business, providing our main source of income, all while holding us together with his gentle, steady character. He is a patient mentor to young men, a talented worship leader, a high school basketball coach, and still comes home with time and energy to serve his family.
ERYN: I do my best to make our space a home. I teach and tend to the kids, organize and orchestrate our daily life, and dream big dreams for our property. I’ve learned a lot about livestock, gardening, and house plans since marrying Vincent, and have fully embraced a holistic lifestyle since having children. I enjoy writing and reading, drinking black coffee, teaching at our local homeschool co-op. I brought zero farm experience into our marriage, but have lots of hours of research and plenty of trial and error to pull my weight around here.
THE KIDS: these three are bundles of fun and energy. You can often find them outside: doing farm chores, creating imaginary battles, and searching for caves & waterfalls. They are all creative, book worms and compassionate friends. Our oldest is an entrepreneur through and through, always dreaming up new business plans. He is thoughtful and wise beyond his years. Our middle is an athlete and a prayer warrior, with a soft heart towards the needs of others. Our youngest is an intellectual tender, she is a ray of sunshine wherever she goes.
OUR HOME: in the middle of 2022, we felt the Lord calling us to something drastic. We sold 60% of our belongings and our home to purchase a camper and a small property in the Ozark Mountains. We moved onto our land that fall and began building our homestead from the ground up, adding chicken coops, a garden, and various animals. Our house plans are finalized and in the near future, we will begin framing.
