Can you do this?
Thursday night, we spent the evening teaching some other members of our church how to make sourdough bread.

Have you met the neighbor?
The first thought for most of us going off-grid or homesteading is can I get enough land to get away from the people.

Going back to the basics
Part of being self-sufficient is learning to do without things. Doing without the store. Go without the Amazon subscription and two-day shipping.

Are we throwing caution to the wind?
In 2020, the world ground to a complete halt as everything shut down.

When two is just too much!
Over the years our business has seen many changes. When we lived out on the coast, our business name was Driftwood Beach Crafts. But that was no longer fitting when we moved inland.
Our Story

Life is unpredictable, but your family doesn’t have to be unprepared for it. We’ve traded the modern hustle for a life of purpose and resilience on our North Idaho homestead.
Our goal is simple: to help you master the skills that build a resilient home, so you can lead your family with confidence.
