Homesteading from where we are.
two misfits · two cats · one very big dream
We're Dakota and Angela: weird dream-chasers, laughter-seekers and storytellers figuring out the homestead life one misadventure at a time. No land yet. Lots of plans.

About us
Land last.
Our whole idea: homesteading is skills and relationships, not property. So we're learning it where we are (a small house in Illinois, a garden, two chaotic cats) and saving for land as we go. You get to watch every step, including the dumb ones. — Dakota & Angela
