HOMESTEADING
Tim and Joann, Zac and Jaimie along with their children Joshua and Kaleb, left St. Louis, MO in 2012 in search of a more simple lifestyle. They moved around a couple times and finally settled on a 2400 ft. elevation mountain top in the Ozarks. The land is 56.5 acres and includes pasture land, woods, an old 19th century well and even a fish pond. This season, summer is here and the homestead is gearing up for the fall harvest. The garden is in full swing, construction projects are being completed and fall lambing season should hopefully be producing some new additions before winter. New challenges are facing these new homesteaders as they deal with the extreme southern summer heat and forgo the modern conveniences of American city living.
