The Rooted Eight

Welcome to our little slice of farm life! We're a family of eight living the homestead dream — growing our own food, raising ducks, chickens, and quail, and learning to live more simply and sustainably, one day at a time.

From backyard garden wins (and fails) to feeding a big family from scratch, you'll find a mix of real-life moments, kid-led chores, homestead hacks, and a whole lot of animal chaos. We're here to share what’s working, what we’re learning, and how we’re building a life rooted in family, food and crazy.

Whether you're dreaming of raising your own flock or just want a peek into big family farm life, you're in the right place.
