About Us

Welcome to the Homestead Family! 

Hi, I am Mel and I am the owner and face behind The Homestead Fam. My husband, daughters, and I live on our 2 acre homestead here in small town Michigan and we wouldn't have it any other way. We hope to show you how you can homestead anywhere, no matter your space or budget. Homesteading is different for everyone and that is what is so beautiful about it!

How it Started

I have always had an entrepreneurial spirit and longed for a way for me to share my passions and make a business out of it. Well, in 2023 I decided to start posting about our little life here on our homestead and wow... I could have never guessed what would have came from that. 

You were all loving my recipes, asking for how-to's, and so interested in learning more and more. Fast forward about 6 months and I self published my first ever recipe book and am now turning our family homestead into a successful business. 

What's Next?

We are not stopping there. I have big dreams for The Homestead Fam and am excited to bring you along for the ride! Our future plans include operating our own farm stand, releasing even more recipe books, offering more in depth courses, and bringing you an online farm market so that you can shop from us anywhere!
