Why We Homestead
For us here at From the Roots Up, homesteading is about more than self-sufficiency—it’s about living intentionally, connecting with nature, and passing down traditions that matter. We want to teach our daughters the value of hard work, the joy of nurturing life, and the beauty of creating something with your own hands. Homesteading allows us to slow down, cherish the little things, and build a legacy rooted in faith, family, and love. It’s a way to steward the land God has given us while finding joy in simple, everyday tasks. Through the challenges and rewards, we’ve discovered a deeper appreciation for life and a greater connection to each other. It’s a journey of growth, and we’re excited to share it with you!
