The Norris Farmstead is now fully renovated and ready for bookings! Come see the before and after of this fun AirBnB project of ours to see the amazing difference.
This post has been updated to include the before and after-renovation videos of our Norris Farmstead. Enjoy the journey in this post that shares the purchase all the way through to taking bookings.
My husband and I have purchased a 40-acre homestead just 1/2 mile from our current home. But it’s not for us!
That may sound strange, but for 15 years now, our desire has been to build community sufficiency, teach pioneering skills like those used during the Great Depression era, teach online courses through the Pioneering Today Academy, share free content through my YouTube channel and this blog, and even hold some in-person workshops.
But our homestead where we live just doesn’t allow for the volume we really want. Really, we’re maxed out at about ten people per in-person class, and a lot of work goes into these training days for only ten people to get to benefit from them.
We simply want to open our doors to allow more of you to walk through this journey with us!
Because of our desire for community sufficiency, this homestead property will allow us to teach on such a larger scale and have the ability to make it available to many more people.
You can actually book this Farm-stay for your own family, come see the adorable Scottish Hylander cows, get to grab farm-fresh eggs straight from the coop for breakfast, and during certain months, even harvest flowers, herbs, or veggies from the gardens.
It’s a full working homestead, managed by our family, with the bonus of being an AirBnB!
Enjoy the before and after video, along with the initial tour of the property in this blog post and be sure to book your stay with us at the Norris Farmstead.

Farm Fresh Eating Magazine
If you ever struggle with not knowing what’s going on the table at dinner time, especially with piles of zucchini and beans sitting on the kitchen counter, then you need my farm-fresh eating guide Harvest to Table: Seasonal Recipes.
It’s a monthly digital magazine that’s offered inside the Pioneering Today membership and many of you have told me that it’s one of your favorites!
For the first time, we’re offering this magazine as a stand-alone membership option where you can enjoy all my favorite recipes for using up all that farm-fresh produce as it comes in without any going to waste!
