Who we are

Our family of 4 lives on a little 1.25 acre homestead in Hastings, FL. We have been on our homestead journey since the day my husband brought home a few baby chicks for Mother’s Day, pregnant with our first, and we never looked back!

We are constantly learning new ways towards self sufficiency- making our own breads, yogurt, canned foods, gardening, raising our own animals and more. We are not finished, but moving closer and closer each and every day!

It has been on our heart to share what we learn and our handmade goods with the community along the way. In February of 2025, we pulled the trigger and started our very own farm stand. We put our heads together and constructed a stand out of a vintage dresser.

With a lot of elbow grease and determination, it is set up in St. Augustine, FL and holds bread and baked good pre-orders monthly for the community. It is now finally open as SELF SERVE throughout the week with shelf stable items and the occasional sweet treat. Being able to share what we’ve learned and continue to learn truly fills our cup!

The stand is located at

Handi-Houses of St. Augustine

2171 SR-16 E

Saint Augustine, FL, 32084

We also do bread and baked goods pickups at our homestead in Hastings.

We look forward to the years ahead, filled with growth, learning, and sharing our journey with the community.
