We both had professional careers in teaching so we know what it takes to help people do things right the first time with the fewest mistakes.

We don’t have time for stories because we are a working homestead and you’ll find yourself in the same position. That’s why the GLH materials are guidelines for day-to-day systems that make it work.

We developed the GLH material as a learning tool for those entering homestead living. Important details were captured as they occurred and this is the down and dirty about how it actually gets done.

Our lessons learned are fresh and raw, not buried under 20 years of life and toil. We get up early every day, push forward, and sleep soundly at night. We live the good life in the way it can be done.

We get you off your butt, out the door, and into the living breathing heart of your homestead. We show you how to put one boot in front of the other to get moving and keep moving.

We take you from the most important first steps all the way through managing an active and thriving homestead. We show you what to do first, second, and third, pulling you out of your comfort zone into the life of real homestead living. We prove that it can actually happen in today’s world.

We are now your never-met mentors for starting right in homestead living.
