The Southern Homestead-BCF - Invidious

The Southern Homestead-BCF

Welcome to The Southern Homestead. Michael and I met in 1988 and were married in 1991. We started our family in 1995, raising 3 sons. We purchased a small 40-acre farm in 1998, mostly as a weekend getaway. We were living in Baton Rouge when Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005. It was at this time we decided we were tired of the rat race and moved to our farm, permanently. We built a 2000 sq ft barn, bought an RV & lived in it for an entire year, while our house was being built. So, our homesteading adventure began, with our goal of becoming more self-reliant. We homeschooled the boys, got rid of TV, raised a few meat rabbits, grew a vegetable garden, planted some fruit trees, and here we are, over 20 years later, living our dream!
“Man plans his way; God directs his steps”-Proverbs 16:9
