ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Jo!

I’m so glad you’re here!

Homegrown Homestead is a place to inspire and encourage you on your journey of family life. Come and hear about homeschooling, home life, growing our own food and cooking from scratch.

We’re on a steep learning curve as first-time homesteaders, working things out as we go along!

My husband Sam and I moved to our bright yellow, 3-bedroom cottage in the Adelaide Hills in January 2023.

Our dream is to create a place where our family can grow up enjoying the space, freedom and opportunities of living off the land. This blog began because we couldn’t find anyone who was doing what we wanted to do! So much of our life is based at home as we juggle homeschooling, cooking from scratch and now we’re adding the experiences of learning how to raise animals and grow more of our own food!

We can’t wait to share the adventure of our Homegrown Homestead with you!

Jo
