Our Homestead

My name is Hannah Leavins. My husband, Eli, and I have been married for just over 10 years and we have three awesome boys.

Although we have lived on our property for over 10 years, we really have just begun the journey of homesteading in the past couple of years. We have dabbled in gardening and I have always loved to be in the kitchen, but it wasn’t until covid hit that we (or I) decided that we needed to be as self-sufficient as possible.

One of the biggest deciding factors in this decision was the fact that the closer I get to Jesus, the more I come to understand that He has given me everything that I need to live and survive. He created us, so He knows just what our bodies need in terms of food and staying healthy. We don’t need the processed foods that are filled with harmful ingredients or the toxins that fumigate our homes when we use commercial cleaners.

Another deciding factor was when I began to think about what would happen if the country shut down? Shortages of food, supplies, etc. Most people these days do not even have the first idea of making homemade goods, much less homesteading and being completely self-sufficient.

Here on the blog, I hope that you are able to learn and grow on your journey toward self-sufficiency.
