Hi, I’m Lisa!

My husband, two kids, and I started our journey into natural living nearly 20 years ago, which eventually led us to homesteading. We now live on 5 acres in northern Michigan, where we grow and preserve a lot of our own food, raise chickens and dairy goats, maintain a permaculture orchard, and more. After years of learning and growing, I’m excited to share tips and free resources to help you on your path to a simpler, more fulfilling life.
