About me

Introduction We are a small German family with a big heritage living in urban Waterloo, Ontario Canada. We have embarked on the long and forever rewarding journey of a self sustaining lifestyle. As we are in the beginning phase of our lives, we are prepared for both success and failures as we learn new skills using traditional methods while preserving our Family and Mother Nature. In this technological day and age, we strive to succeed on our little Homestead by growing and preserving our own food, making natural remedies, trading with neighbours and supporting local growers. Our grandparents have been our greatest life teachers; both having survived the Great Depression. We continue the legacy of generations past through life on our Homestead.
