Bateman Homestead has been a dream of mine for many years. I grew up in NH, on 17 acres of land. Basically a homestead before the phrase became popular. My parents decided to move us from the city in CT, and it was the best decision they could have made, in my opinion. With help from friends and family, they built our homestead. We raised all our own food, and all while my parents worked full time jobs and took care of the 3 of us.
I have had a desire to go back to that life for many years, but a few stumbling blocks got in my way. Cost of living was a huge one. In 2012, I took the leap with my 2 sons and moved to NC. And just like my parents, it was the best decision I could have made. In those couple of years, my oldest son has moved back to NH, but with my younger son Tom, we are slowly building up our homestead. We have had chickens for a year now, are working hard to get our farm stand up and running, and have plans to add many critters to the homestead this year. I hope you enjoy following us on our journey. We are learning as we go, just as my parents did, with help from friends and family. Feel free to comment, and you can also find us on Facebook. |
