🌲 Hi, we’re Joe & Tina — high school sweethearts, married 26 years, parents to 3 amazing kids, and proud retired military veterans.

In 2022, we sold almost everything and traded city life for a slower, more intentional life in Alaska. What started as a leap of faith has become a full-on homestead journey rooted in family, faith, hard work, and freedom. We share real life on our Alaskan homestead — the wins, the struggles, and everything in between. You’ll find:

• Homesteading
• Building projects & DIY
• Homeschooling & family life
• From-scratch cooking & preserving
• Seasonal rhythms of life in Alaska
• Cozy vlogs & honest conversations

We believe in living as self-sufficiently as possible, working with our hands, raising our kids close to nature, and choosing a life that feels meaningful — not rushed. If you love simple living, homesteading, family-centered content, and life in Alaska, you’re in the right place.

Sharing some very sad news today.

Thank you all so much for the love, prayers, and kind words—we feel them and truly appreciate this community more than you know. 🤍

I also see many of you trying to help by offering ideas, diagnoses, and things we “could have done,” and I understand that it’s coming from a good place. But I just want to gently say this: life on a homestead, especially during lambing season, can be unpredictable and sometimes heartbreaking despite doing everything right.

There’s no clear answer for what caused sweet Faith to get sick, and with Gracie, it was a sudden accident that simply couldn’t have been prevented. As hard as that is to accept, it’s the reality of raising animals.

We love and care deeply for every single one of our animals, and we’re always learning and doing our very best for them. Right now, we’re just allowing ourselves to grieve and process the loss.

Thank you for being here with us through both the beautiful moments and the hard ones. 🤍

It’s too much.🥰 The joy of a backyard homestead outweighs the diligent work that goes into it everyday.❤️❤️

Babies are all doing fantastic & so are the mamas! We have a total of 13 little ones this year. 7 kids & 6 lambs. God is good!

Busy season. All good things!😍 See you Saturday for our next video! Tina-
