Howdy, I’m Melissa.

Welcome to My Homestead

I’m a 5th-generation homesteader who loves getting her hands dirty in the garden, stuffing food into Mason jars (after I wash my hands of course), and hunting down as many traditional old-fashioned skills as possible to put into use on our homestead.

We live on 14.96 acres in the foothills of the North Cascade mountain range of Washington state and have been homesteading for 25+ years. We raise 100% of our own meat from our organic grass fed beef (holler to the Black Angus and majestic Scottish Highland cattle), a flock of hens and ducks for fresh eggs, meat chickens we butcher ourselves, and organic pork (cuz you haven’t eaten bacon until you’ve had home grown).
