We’re a faith-driven, homeschooling family of nine, homesteading on an acre in Lenawee County while searching for a small farm to call our own. As a disabled veteran who grew up farming, I’m passionate about passing on a love for the land and simple living to our children and grandchildren.

Goals, Values, Vision
I am a 48 year old Christian, married with 7 children, and a disabled veteran. After growing up on a farm and later running a small ranch, I sold it to serve in the Army, but God had other plans. Now my family and I are homesteading on an acre in Lenawee County, raising animals, gardening, and homeschooling our two youngest sons. We are praying and trusting God to lead us to a small farm where we can grow, teach, and live off the land together.
