Hello, my name is Desirae. Our homestead is on 40 acres in Northern Minnesota. My husband (Matt) and I have 3 children. Our main goal on our homestead is self sufficiency and teaching our kids the skills we've learned over the years. I haven't always lived on a farm. I was actually raised in city in the suburbs of the twin cities. I have always been a natural in the kitchen, but the farm life is all new to me. Matt, however, was raised on a beef cattle farm and worked at his uncles dairy farm as a young boy. We are so happy to have you here and hope you will continue to follow our journey of turning our home into a homestead.
