Hello, we are kind of homesteading!

Before moving to our 1906 log home in the middle of the woods, we used to live in the city. We prefer this quiet and slower paced lifestyle, and don’t miss the hustle and bustle of a large city. It took some adjusting to get used to the quiet around here and not having neighbours, at some moments it almost felt too quiet. Now, we wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.

Life is busy here but that’s because we have made it busy. There’s always wood to move or chickens to feed! We are in a constant state of renovation as we transform the inside and outside of our home. No renovations have been done to our home for the last one hundred years. We acquired it three years ago and have transformed many aspects of it so far, while keeping its character and charm.

Our goal is to become as self-sufficient as possible, by growing our own food and raising our own livestock. We do a lot of cooking and baking at home and prefer that as opposed to eating out. Real food makes you feel better and provides more vitamins and nutrients that are essential for your health. That’s the main reason we got into raising our own chickens. The taste and look of the eggs are vastly different compared to store bought eggs. There’s really no comparison!

Follow us along on our journey by following any of our social medias, as we transform our home, grow food and flowers, build and renovate, cook and bake, and of course hang out with the chickens!
