Nicole Casey

At 45 and 50 my husband and I have come to a point in our lives of really understanding the importance of everything we do say and eat, having honed in on and weeded out almost all store-bought food. We’ve gone to pure organic and local farm meat diets. We have the desire to produce ourselves a Homestead with animals, gardens, trees, and take care of the Earth as it takes care of us. To support the community around us. With not a lot of money but a lot of heart. We're ready🙌

Goals, Values, Vision

We aim to minimize the reliance on external industrial systems for food, energy, and resource. To take direct control over our food and shield ourselves from the broader food chain supply. To be able to reconnect with nature and natural resources. We would be blessed to inspire anyone in our community to do the same.
