They are the heart behind Hummingbird Acres\, where family\, faith\, and a simpler way of life come first. Their journey into homesteading began unexpectedly with a battle against poison ivy and a late-night Google search\, but quickly grew into a passion they now share with their four children. After a challenging season in 2020\, they chose to step away from stress and rediscover joy through sustainable living\, learning together as a family every step of the way. Today\, Hummingbird Acres is a space where they share their experiences\, lessons\, and encouragement for others seeking a more grounded\, family-centered lifestyle. \nFind Hummingbird Acres on YouTube.
