Building materials to create our home

To construct our home and homestead, we are in continuous need of essential building materials. Your donations of screws, wood, concrete, and metal roofing are are very valuable to our projects. These items form the very foundation of our dream, helping us turn salvaged materials into a safe and sustainable living space. Every piece contributes to building a stronger, more resilient home for our family.

Nourishing our journey with food supplies

Sustaining ourselves as we build is crucial, and food donations help us immensely. We gratefully accept vegetables, canned goods, and proteins to keep our energy levels high. Additionally, we are raising insects and vegetables to feed our chickens, contributing to a self-sufficient food cycle on our homestead. Your contributions ensure we can continue our hard work with nutritious meals.

How you can help us achieve our goals

Your generosity is the cornerstone of our progress. If you wish to contribute materials, food, or other support, you can bring anything directly to Mountain View when we are there. Since we travel across Arkansas and Missouri, we are often collecting old items and turning them into our new home. If you see us in town and have materials, gift cards, or food to offer, please anything helps. We are also available for small projects or odd jobs in exchange for assistance. Your kindness helps us build our home and community.

Our vision: A sustainable future

Our ultimate goal is to have a home by winter and a full garden by spring, allowing us to begin selling produce at local farmers' markets. We envision a fully sustainable homestead, a place where we live in harmony with nature and provide for ourselves. With your help, we can achieve this dream and create a self-sufficient haven. We are documenting this journey, sharing pictures of nature along the way, and invite you to be a part of our story.
