More about us…

We started Huckleberry Homestead on virgin land that had been used for grazing and haying for decades. We didn’t even have a driveway, and had to trudge through the neighbors’ properties to hike across the land! During the first couple of years, we planted a fruit orchard and a berry patch, raised chickens and turkeys, moved bees into our apiary and built a log cabin. Huckleberry Homestead then started selling our eggs, honey and canned goods at a local market, a farm stand, and direct within our community.

After we moved into the cabin, and with a lot of help from our friends, we put in a fire pit, set up rainwater catches and barrels and built raised garden beds with built-in composting. We set up our various processing areas for herb-drying and honey and canning, as well as a knife-making forge and workshops for carving hand-crafted tobacco pipes, creating candles and wax melts, prepping beeswax and weaving carpets and small rugs on our loom. Recently, we built a cedar greenhouse, so we won’t have to give up our kitchen and dining spaces as we get an early start on our seedlings!  

It has been a beautiful, hard, busy time. We are grateful to God for this bountiful land, the resilience of our family, the knowledge and assistance of so many folks who helped us along the way, and for the opportunity to share what we have learned, made and grown. Thank you for visiting huckleberryhomesteading.com! We’d love to hear from you.
