Welcome to the Farmette!
On our homestead in the Alleghenies, we work with God’s Creation to build our home, farm, and life. This beautiful small farmette is home to our family, three woofers, a few kitties, chickens, ducks, the occasional chukars and pheasants, flowers, home gardens, orchards, berry patches, and the occasional wildlife. From homesteading and gardening to DIY projects, we strive to be good stewards to the land, for the beauty of the Earth.
New to the Farmette
No worries. Everyone is new to gardening, homesteading, and homemaking some point in their life. I grew up with a beautiful farm life, but I returned to the beginner stage again when I married and moved to our own property. It takes time, research, determination, and not enough trial and error. Here, you will find how-to articles, resources, and tales from first hand experiences from our small homestead in the Pennsylvania mountains.
