Our Homestead’s Vision

Our ultimate vision is to create a welcoming space that not only revitalizes our barn but also remodels the original farmhouse on the property. We plan to incorporate a commercial kitchen, allowing us to keep sharing our delicious baked goods, like zucchini bread, carrot cake muffins, sun-dried basil muffins, and so much more! This space will be a hub for the community, offering seeds, plant starts, fresh produce, and artisanal creations, including salves and tinctures. We envision a place where neighbors can gather, enjoy homemade treats, and connect with the land.

Why We Need Your Help


While our barn has stood strong for decades, it’s beginning to show its age. Some of the boards are broken, and it needs care and freshening up to transform it into a vibrant shop for our community. Nestled among vineyards and wineries, we’re excited to fill a unique niche—offering something special for both locals and tourists alike by summer 2025.
