Wildly Bold Homestead

Living Small, Dreaming Big, and Building Freedom 

Welcome to Wildly Bold Homestead — our 3.5-acre corner of the world where chickens cluck, rabbits nibble, and dreams grow as fast as the weeds.

This is where modern grit meets old-fashioned living, where you’ll find real stories, practical how-to’s, and the unfiltered truth about building a homestead from scratch while running an online business to fund the dream.

Why " Wildly Bold Homestead"?

Because starting a homestead in today’s world is wildly bold.


  • You’re not just planting a garden — you’re planting a life you believe in.
  • You’re not just raising chickens — you’re raising independence.
  • You’re not just fixing fences — you’re bridging the gap between how you live now and how you want to live.

For us, Wildly Bold Homestead means refusing to wait for “someday.” It means jumping in with what we have, where we are, and learning (sometimes the hard way) as we go. It means balancing the romantic idea of self-sufficiency with the messy, sweaty, sometimes overwhelming reality of it.

We want you to see the truth about small-scale homesteading — the joy, the chaos, the pride, and the occasional chicken escape that makes you rethink your life choices.

Who We Are

We’re just regular people who decided that someday wasn’t coming fast enough.

Armed with a small budget, a big dream, and an even bigger coffee habit, we bought 3.5 acres and started building our Wildly Bold Homestead from scratch.

We started with what was manageable:

  • Chickens for fresh eggs (and chicken TV).
  • Rabbits for meat and some of the best garden fertilizer you can get.
  • A garden that grows more every year.
  • An online business that pays the bills while we work the land.

We’re not experts — we’re learners. And here’s the thing: you don’t need to wait until you’re an expert either.

What You’ll Find Here

Wildly Bold Homestead isn’t just another picture-perfect farm blog.

It’s a toolbox for real-life homesteading — scaled for people who:
