Live Intentionally
Choose Consciously
Thrive Holistically
Welcome to The Farmstead
Nestled within the rhythms of nature, our farmstead is a living, breathing space where land, plants, and animals work in harmony. This is more than just a farm—it’s a place of deep connection, resilience, and choice. Here, we cultivate not only food and medicine but also knowledge—the one resource that can never be lost.
Why We Do This
The farmstead is rooted in a desire to practice self-sufficiency, sovereignty, and the ability to engage with the world on our own terms. In an uncertain world, this land offers security—food, medicine, and an incredible to develope wisdom, often through hard lessons, and the wonder of life.
We believe that knowing how to care for ourselves and our community is the foundation of true freedom.
This land has been in our family for generations, built by the hands of those who came before us—our grandparents, our great-grandparents. Their presence is in the soil, in the homes they built, and in the knowledge passed down through the years. As we cultivate the land, we honor their legacy and carry forward the understanding that nature provides everything we need. Now, having walked this path, we see food and medicine everywhere.
The Animals
Our farmstead is home to a small but lively group of animals who are an integral part of the land’s natural balance:
- Goats – Our playful companions, helping to clear brush, maintain and fire-proof the land, while also providing milk, meat, and rich composting material.
- Chickens – Providing fresh eggs and meat, along with natural (but sometimes chaotic) pest control as they roam freely.
- Two Australian Cattle Dogs – Herding, protecting, hiking companions, and all-around joyful troublemakers.
Each of these animals plays a vital role, not only in maintaining the ecosystem but also in reminding us of the deep interconnection between all living beings.
The Plants & Apothecary
Over 50+ medicinal herbs grow here, forming the foundation of our evolving garden apothecary. These plants are cultivated with intention, harvested in alignment with the seasons, and used for everything from teas and tinctures to salves and ceremonial blends. Some of the key herbs thriving on the farmstead include:
- Lavender – For relaxation, clarity, deep rest—and because it smells incredible.
- Mugwort – A dream herb and ally for intuitive work.
- Elderberry – A powerful anti-viral immune supporter.
- Yarrow – Known for its healing and protective qualities.
- Hawthorn – A trusted heart health ally.
- Burdock – Deep nourishment and detoxification support.
- Stinging Nettle – A powerhouse of nutrition and an anti-histamine when taken within 30 minutes of picking.
The apothecary is an ongoing project, reflecting our commitment to plant medicine, self-sufficiency, and sharing this knowledge through practice-based learning.
Current & Ongoing Projects
The farmstead is always evolving, guided by the land, the seasons, and the cycles of growth. Some of our ongoing and seasonal projects include:
- Regenerative Living – Cultivating the soil, composting, and working in harmony with nature to restore the land.
- Seasonal Herbalism – Harvesting, drying, and preparing plant medicine in alignment with the cycles of the year.
- Animal Stewardship – Deepening our connection with the animals through ethical and sustainable care.
- Workshops & Offerings – Integrating farm-based courses on herbalism, land stewardship, and embodied practice.
Seasonal Updates & Courses
The farmstead is a reflection of the natural world—always changing, always offering new experiences. As the seasons shift, we update this space to share what’s growing, what’s being harvested, and which courses are opening in alignment with the land’s rhythms.
