About Us

Hello! We’re Joe, Elise, and Luna! On a typical weekend, you might find us canoeing a remote river in Maine, building a chicken coop, foraging fiddleheads, or crafting our next DIY project. Our goal is to gradually transition to an earth-friendly, self-reliant lifestyle.

While we love dedicating our time to our 16-acre homestead in Maine, we also make sure to balance all that hard work with plenty of fun. So on this blog you'll see lots of tips and ideas for homesteading as well as highlights of our adventures.

Despite our passion for homesteading and adventuring, we both have pretty standard, full-time jobs, a mortgage, and various responsibilities. This blog is here to show that you don’t need a lot of money to start working towards your own vision of a more sustainable and joyful life. Join us as we share our journey and tips on how to live a fulfilling, self-sufficient lifestyle.
