Our family's story really starts back in 2018. Jason and Hannah met when their kiddos were ages two and three years old. They very quickly bonded over their love for nature and adventure, but they weren't quite ready for the relationship they have today. Five years later, they reconnected over breakfast and coffee after Hannah commented on a post of Jason's about plants he was selling in his home nursery. The rest was history, the two rekindled the flame and found over time that their goals in life were the same. Fast forward a couple of years and you'll find that there isn't much we don't do as a family!

From the outside, you may just see a family that works because we all have similar interests or talents, but the core of it is really that we all share the learning mentality. We're always excited to jump in and learn the next new skill or hobby and we've all found passion for the health of our family and the world. As a family, we not only enjoy stepping on the mat together, but we stress its importance in self-protection and skill building. Hannah grew up in a martial arts family but stepped off the mats for nearly ten years and had just begun introducing Rhiannon to Tae Kwon Do when she was seven. Jason and Aiden had started MMA just shortly after 2018. When the families reconnected, we started incorporating martial arts as a family driven activity. During her ten-year martial arts hiatus, Hannah became certified as a personal trainer and specialized in strength building. There's nothing that builds a family bond more than supporting one another through intense physical workouts. We love including the kids in our healthy habits because they love to be included. We've taught them that exercising and eating right is something we do because we love our bodies and the amazing things they can do. In society, we pick ourselves and others apart based on aesthetics. Eating right and exercising becomes the punishment for "letting yourself go". Instead, we teach the kids that you eat and exercise to fuel your goals. If you want to compete in athletics of any kind, you've got to fuel your body with the right nutrients for building strength and enhancing recovery. If you want to continue to do work well into your 80's, you've got to slow down your biological aging by taking care of your body well. Every body will look different in its "peak" condition, we make sure our kids don't feel pressured by the scale or the size of their clothes. Taking care of the body and mind means securing your physical and mental ability to carry out the tasks you want to do. 

We also believe in supporting the creativity and entrepreneurial spirits of our kids by guiding them through the process of building their own small businesses. For example, in our last vendor event, Rhiannon pitched in with a slime business. She learned about the cost of the materials and the labor that goes in to making your own products, keeping track of sales and expenses, and the pride that comes with making your own money using your own hands. Since then, both of the kids have written up tons of ideas on ways they can be creative to make their own spending cash on the homestead. They've been excitedly learning about marketing, graphic design, and new artistic skills.

Our family has always believed in organic and natural products, and we've made it our mission to provide these products to our amazing community at affordable rates. We're also dedicated to sharing our lifestyle and methods of self- sustainability and teamwork as a family to share in your success with your homesteading endeavors.
