What we do

A bunch of relaxed folks who like to live off the land as much as possible, who like to find crystals in our woods, play with baby cows, raise and grow our own food, and who dabble in all kinds of projects and hobbies. We love that everyone has their own path, we respect this about eachother and try to live as judgement free as possible… and wonder maybe our paths are meant to intersect yours/your family’s?

Our Vision

Live simply so that others can simply live.
