About our Homestead

Hello!  I'm Stan, and after battling worsening psoriasis for years,  I  discovered the power of good quality food and its positive impact on my skin condition.  In search of finding  organic or higher quality foods to help my skin condition, I soon realized most of these foods were expensive or difficult to find.

In 2017 I came across a YouTube Channel (Cog Hill Farm) and was inspired to grow my own food. At the time I was living in a city and had no experience in gardening or raising animals other than household pets; therefore, I began with a few small raised beds and six laying hens, and that spring and summer became the opening chapter of this journey!  Tending to the raised garden and hens went really well and my family and I were having a blast!  As our confidence grew, so did our desire to do more, fast forward three years and we now live on a three acre slice of heaven that we love!  

We want to now invite you to come along with our family as we transition into a small self sustaining family farm.   We aspire to share both our successes and failures that you may be inspired to try new things as well.  We entered into this journey with no prior experience and aim to provide many laughs and learning experiences along the way.  We learned most of what we're doing from watching others and hope to be able to provide a similar learning opportunity to anyone who may be interested in this lifestyle or suffer from psoriasis.  

Thank you for coming along with us on this  journey and we hope it is enjoyable for you and your family!
