It’s been a little over a month since we moved onto our new homestead, and life has been anything but quiet. From navigating a surprise snowstorm that left our free-range chickens stranded to preparing for an exciting expansion of our flock, we’ve been busy turning this land into a fully functioning farm.

With more chickens, ducks, and goats on the way, a brand-new chicken coop and run arriving soon, and plenty of farm projects on our to-do list, this homestead is growing fast. Here’s what’s been happening over the past few weeks and what’s coming next.

It’s hard to believe that we’re finally here. After months of searching, dreaming, and navigating the unexpected, we’ve found our dream homestead. Looking back, it feels like this place was always meant for us, even if the journey to get here was anything but smooth.

The process of finding and moving to a new homestead has been full of surprises. There were moments of doubt and plenty of hard work, but every challenge brought us closer to where we are now, a place that truly feels like home.
