We’re creating a mobile homestead so we can have a farm life while in the military. We want to prove anyone can live this dream – no matter the crazy circumstances. On this site you’ll find DIY projects for a handcrafted house, garden trials and triumphs, and of course, chickens!

How we got here…

In the first year of our marriage, we set out on an ambitious journey: grow a garden, raise chickens, and make as much as we can from scratch. With serving in the military and frequent moves, it might seem crazy and unrealistic—but we thought, “Why not give it a try?” After all, the worst that could happen is failure, and we wouldn’t know if we could succeed unless we made the attempt.

Along the way, we decided to document our successes and mistakes, hoping to learn from them and help others avoid the same pitfalls. That’s how this website came to life. If we can share what works and what doesn’t to support others on similar paths, we consider that a win

It hasn’t been all smooth sailing! My once-green Floridian thumb turned a shade of Texas brown, we lost a chicken very early on, and yes, I’ve burned supper more times than I’d like to admit. But we’re learning and loving every part of this adventure.

We created this site to connect with others who share a passion for simple, sustainable, and frugal living. Whether you’re on the move like us or rooted in one spot, we hope our experiences can inspire and guide you. And if you’ve already been down this road, we’d love to hear your tips and tricks!

Join us as we share our stories, learn from our mishaps, and keep pushing forward. Feel free to ask questions, leave comments, and follow along with our homesteading adventure.
