About the Farm

Our family of five resides on a quaint 2-acre homestead nestled in the heart of Northwest Indiana. For the past eight years, we have passionately dedicated ourselves to the joys and challenges of homesteading. Our journey began with a commitment to raising chickens, and we included nurturing feeder pigs, and tending to a bountiful garden along the way. It's been a remarkable experience as hobby farmers, one that has filled our days with hard work and the sweet rewards of self-sufficiency.

In July of 2022, we embarked on an exciting new chapter in our homesteading adventure. With determination and creativity, we constructed our very own farm stand. This rustic haven serves as the hub of our homestead, and it's a place where we share the fruits of our labor with our community. We envisioned it as more than just a wooden structure; it's a symbol of our dedication to sustainable living and a source of pride for our family.

Visitors to our farm stand are greeted with an array of farm-fresh treasures. We take immense pleasure in offering our farm's bounty to our neighbors and friends. From golden-hued eggs collected each morning to fragrant, crusty sourdough bread, our farm stand brims with the rich flavors of our labor and love. But it's not just about food; we've crafted a selection of lard soap, seasoned firewood, and an assortment of other handcrafted goods that reflect the diverse skills and interests within our family.

The heart of our farm stand beats with a commitment to sustainability. We believe in responsible land stewardship and sustainable farming practices. Our homestead showcases the delicate balance between providing for our family and caring for the land that sustains us. Through careful management and thoughtful choices, we strive to minimize our ecological footprint and make a positive impact on our environment.

In sharing our homestead's bounty and our passion for sustainable living, we hope to inspire others in our community to embark on their own homesteading journeys. Our family's story is one of hard work, dedication, and the fulfillment of a dream rooted in the simple pleasures of rural life. As we continue to nurture our homestead in Northwest Indiana, we look forward to the years ahead, filled with growth, learning, and the joy of sharing the fruits of our labor with our cherished community.
