Eternally Grateful!
Thank you to everyone who supported our homestead at the Garden State Sheep and Fiber Festival! I hope we made an impact on you as all of you did on us! We appreciate you!
Welcome
Thank you for stopping by and checking out our homestead. We are first generation homesteaders located in Franklinville, New Jersey. We have been homesteading since 2009 in a small suburban town in New Jersey,10 minutes outside of Philadelphia raising chickens and growing produce. Once we started to keep bees we decided it was time to uproot and find more land for them expand. In 2019 we moved to a small farm with an 1880 farmhouse and dove deep into restoring the house and land to its former beauty. We are remodeling the house to its time period, salvaging items that were already here like the 130 year old pine doors that were still hanging and repurposed old oak trim from a local house built in 1890 that was going to be demolished. We planted 110 heirloom apple trees that were popular during the turn of the century, became a BeeFriendly Certified Farm and drove across the country to bring America’s oldest sheep breed home, the Navajo-Churro. We are members of the Livestock Conservancy, Shave’Em to Save’Em and the Garden State Sheep breeders. We are stewards of the land, and all nature’s creatures as we holistically handle everything on our homestead. Now it’s time to grow.
