Welcome to The Heritage Homestead: Where Faith, Family, and Farming Meet

Hey friend!

If you’re new here—welcome! If you’ve been following along on Facebook, Instagram, or you’ve just been wondering what in the world we’re doing with cows, kids, and an apparent endless supply of eggs… you’re in the right place.

Today, I wanted to sit down (with a mason jar of sweet tea and a toddler climbing over my shoulder) to give you a deeper introduction to who we are, what we do, and why in the world we’re doing it. This post is a little more heartfelt, a little more in-depth, and hopefully makes you feel like you’re sitting on our porch with us.

Who We Are: The Family Behind the Fences

We’re a Jesus-loving, dirt-under-our-fingernails kind of family living out a dream that’s equal parts beautiful and chaotic. Our days are filled with cow kisses, garden weeds, toddler giggles, and the occasional “Wait, did someone shut the chicken coop?!” sprint at sunset.

I’m Sierra, the mama behind the bread bowl, the camera, and the blog. My husband John is the steady rock who builds pens, fixes fences, and tolerates my wild ideas like adding another dairy cow “just for fun.” We’ve got [# of kids] kiddos running around in rubber boots (and sometimes nothing at all), and we’re raising them to know Jesus, work with their hands, and love this land we’ve been given.

The Heritage Homestead: Why We Do What We Do

We chose the name “The Heritage Homestead” because this life isn’t just about animals or vegetables. It’s about legacy. It’s about building something with eternal value—rooted in truth, lived out in simplicity, and handed down with love.

We want our children to know where their food comes from—not just the “how” but the “why.” We want them to learn the sacred rhythm of sowing and reaping, the value of hard work, the gift of stewardship, and the joy of gathering around the table with people they love.

We want them to see faith lived out in the daily:
In the early morning milkings, when the world is still quiet.
In the kneading of dough, where prayers rise like yeast.
In the messy garden rows, where we trust God to bring growth.
In the daily chores, the sibling squabbles, and the evening prayers.

This isn’t a perfect life, but it’s a purposed one.

And in all the doing and digging and discipling, we’re building a heritage—a home full of faith, laughter, repentance, and grace. A home that points to Jesus in the ordinary.

What You’ll Find Here

This blog—and our little corner of the internet—isn’t just about homesteading or photography. It’s about real life. It’s about walking with Jesus while juggling babies and garden tools and wondering if you remembered to switch the laundry.

Here’s what you’ll find when you stick around:

• Homestead life: Tips, seasonal rhythms, honest stories (and goat bloopers)
• Homemade recipes: From fresh bread to farm-fueled meals
• Faith and family: Devotionals, encouragement, and how we’re discipling our kids
• Business life: Behind-the-scenes of running a creative business with kingdom purpose
