From Rain to Habitat
A year of watching before digging: how we harvest, steer, and store hillside rain with a diversion drain, gentle overflows, and a new pond. After nearly 16 rain-free weeks, our water system is the difference between stress and stability for soil, plants, and wildlife.
What is Homesteading?
Homesteading emphasizes self-sufficiency, sustainable living, and a connection to nature, originating from the U.S. “Homestead Act” of 1862. Today, it embodies various practices from food cultivation to ethical lifestyle choices, enhancing community ties and promoting environmental stewardship. It combines tradition and modernity, fostering mindfulness and sustainability.
