About Heritage Home Farmstead

Hello and welcome!

I’m Amanda. Wife. Former homeschool Mom. Coffee drinker.

And I’m Megan. Daughter. Sister. Gardener.

We’re a mother/daughter team sharing wholesome recipes from our from scratch kitchen as well as encouragement for homemakers, homestead gardening, and a little farm life along the way!

It is our hope to revive heritage homes through the simple life of making our own food, enjoying the simple joys of God’s creation by keeping our hands in the soil, and building our families on biblical foundations by bringing the family back home once again.

We desire to remind you of what a heritage home looks like by sharing with you the beauty in simple real living.

Fun facts about Heritage Home Farmstead:

We’re a Mother/Daughter team who loves to nourish our guy’s *constant* hunger. Often found in the kitchen together- one of us cooks and the other does the dishes. What great teamwork!
You will find many recipes here that are passed down from Amanda’s Mother, Barbara (Megan’s Grandma) who often told Amanda she should one day write a book. Well Grandma- in a way we’re doing what you dreamed of!
Coffee is always on here. We love our daily evening coffee chats where the family comes together to discuss the day. If the weather is nice, coffee is always enjoyed on the porch!
After purchasing 20 acres together a few years ago, our family has dreams of multi generations living on the same land, building our families, raising/growing our food, and enjoying the many blessings of a simple, quiet life.
Amanda is a big city transplant who now cannot imagine ever living in all the rush and busyness. She loves to joke that she’s the one who “started all this” way back in her duplex garden. She’s passionate about her husband and children and their physical and more importantly spiritual health. She can often be found praying for them, helping to manage the family business, making them yummy treats, sending them goofy text messages, drinking coffee, and doing laundry…lots of laundry!
Megan, the resident gardener, has big homesteading dreams that often have to be wrangled in. For now she grows 400 (literally) onions every year, massive zinnia gardens, LOTS of cabbages (hello sauerkraut), is passionate about the soil microbiome, and is very excited to launch this year into the world of chickens for all things eggs, pasture health, and downright enjoyment. When she’s not in the garden, she handles the interior painting of the family business or she can be found cleaning the Lodge for our next B&B guest.
We are Christians- believers in Jesus Christ. Saved by the riches of His grace, through faith. We desire all that we do be to the praise of His glory through the power of His Holy Spirit working through us!
While you may rarely see our faces on this blog or on social media, we hope that the content stirs in you a desire to build your family on the Foundation that lasts, to live a simpler and quieter life, to enjoy nourishing meals, and to be encouraged as we share our home with yours!
