We can evaluate your soil, water, light, and grazing potential. We can help you determine the best placement of gardens, livestock pens, barns and outbuildings, roads, woodpiles, compost piles, and anything else your homestead needs. We can show you the potential your property holds, so your homestead can work for you. Our science and agriculture backgrounds coupled with our decades of experience can help you.

Once you book a session, we will email you to ask for some basic information about your property so we are can hit the ground running when we meet.

We follow up by email with you after the session and will always do our best to help you succeed and meet your goals as quickly as possible.

Learn to Be More Self-Sufficient

The state of Texas is rugged and homesteading here is a challenge. But, we are excited to help you make the most of your property and the natural resources you have. We work with existing homesteaders who want to become more productive. We work with dreamers who need to plan and learn how to look for property that meets their goals. We can even help homesteaders who got off to a good start but encountered problems along the way. We love helping you determine the correct number of animal units for your farm, helping you choose the right kinds of livestock, and teaching you how to grow the most productive garden possible.

Get to Know Your Coaches

We have 25 years of experience living off the land in central Texas. We can teach you how we grow fresh and wholesome food for our family of six, including fruits, vegetables, eggs, nuts, pork, beef, and poultry.

Our personalized coaching is specific to your property, your resources, and your needs.

We have BS degrees from Texas A&M in Agronomy and Wildlife & Fisheries Science. We developed our homestead using a practical and proven science-based approach.
