Faithfully farmsteading in the mountains of Northeast Tennessee.
Where our days are rooted in hard work, homemade goodness, and the grace of simple living. From early morning chores to slow evenings in the kitchen, we’re learning, teaching, and growing—one season at a time.
Have a look around the farmstead.

Our farmstand is a reflection of the work we love—simple, seasonal, and handmade with care. Here you’ll find a rotating selection of our homestead favorites: sourdough loaves, fresh-milled mixes, herbal salves, elderberry kits, baked goods, garden produce, and more. Every item is rooted in the rhythms of our land and the work of our hands, made to nourish your home and support a slower, more intentional way of living.
Whether you’re stocking your pantry, picking up a gift, or just stopping by to say hello—we’re always glad to see you at the stand!
Classes & Events
We’ve spent years learning the art of simple, intentional living—and now we love sharing those skills with others through our hands-on homesteading classes and events. In partnership with our neighbors at Our Happy Backyard Farm, we offer workshops on everything from sourdough baking and herbal salves to seed starting and barn quilt painting. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to deepen your skills, our goal is to make homesteading approachable, practical, and fun.
Can’t make it to us? We’ll bring the class to you! We offer mobile workshops and private group sessions—perfect for homeschool co-ops, women’s groups, and community gatherings.
And of course, we can’t forget about Chick Days—one of our favorite times of year! We love hatching chicks and sharing the joy they bring to families, classrooms, and backyard flocks alike.
We took a Sourdough Class last night and made our first tiny loaves! Thanks so much to Fruitful Farmstead & Our Happy Backyard Farm for having this great class.
