We are Rob and Deb and we live in northeastern Alabama in a smaller town outside of Gadsden. We moved here from Michigan in 2019 and have found home. In 2023 we were able to have a dream come true...we bought a 26 acre farm with our son and his family! My parents are just down the road! Our property has an old barn and is fenced with a creek but has not been farmed in ages. Join us as we live our dream with our family!
What sets us apart? We are in our late 50's and we have found out what we want to do when we grow up! Finally, after all these years, we are going back to our roots and wanting to take you with us! It doesn't matter your age, dream again! Our dream is to have a place in the country where we can have more chickens, come cows, pigs and who knows what else! We want to share this with our family and friends. We want to establish a community of like minded people to join us.
Becoming more sustainable and getting back to what has been lost over the years is what we are striving to revive. When we were younger children, we have memories growing up and helping in the garden and then storing that food to last us through the winter. When we married, we continued that tradition. Somewhere along the way, we lost that. Now we are pushing to get that back. Many days were spent preparing food and preserving it. We plan to incorporate many methods of preserving as the years go by such as: canning, fermenting, dehydrating & root cellar storage.
A small backyard Nursery is one of the Resources we are developing to further our dream of becoming self-reliant in our Homesteading endeavors. You can jump over to Brown Thumb Nursery and view Rob's videos over there.

We also have been on a journey to improve or health! We have adopted the Keto lifestyle and pushing 100 lbs lost between the two of us! To help share this with others, we have started our Keto & Cast Iron channel to blend two other aspects of our life into our world of TH-cam! Jump over to / @ketocastiron691 to see what's for dinner!
