Our Mission
To foster a healthier, more nourishing culture for future generations, through conscious homesteading—To encourage and support each other in community—To weave transformational lifestyles through shared webs of curiosity, discovery and reciprocity.
Our Ethos
As we seek lasting meaning and deepening connections through homesteading, our hearts carry these precious observations and reminders:
We Are Culture
We recognize that our everyday choices have the power to help shape culture.
Nature Is Sacred
We honor that every being—seen and unseen—is sacred.
Live From the Heart
We seek our hearts’ wisdom and direction in guiding our life choices.
Beauty Is Everywhere
A practice of noticing beauty is our expression of awe and reverence for life.
We Are Healing
Modern humans are healing from complex social, cultural and political problems.
Cultivate Gratitude
We are deeply grateful for life’s bountiful gifts.
Seeds for Homesteaders
We offer homestead-grown seeds of perennial vegetables, perennial flowers, perennial herbs, and diverse mixes for homestead gardeners, food forests and permaculture folk.
Meet the Founders
Hi! We’re Ann & Noel, ex-suburbanites turned rural homesteaders. We founded Homestead Culture out of a love of sharing our experiences and knowledge with other homesteaders.
We chose to embrace a community model for this platform after realizing that a huge lack of community is one of the biggest problems our modern culture faces today—and that problem is largely invisible to modern eyes.
Our deep motivation is to contribute to a more vibrant, earthy, meaningful and connected future. Through homesteading we have become empowered to heal ourselves, nourish our family and connect with a greater web of life and magic. We are sharing this love and empowerment forward.
Let’s co-create a positive future for our grand children’s grand children by re-aligning our hearts and minds with the natural world and Mother Earth’s patterns of abundance!
