Homestead Journal
Homestead Journal
Every homestead has a story. This is ours.
Turning Leaf Homestead isn't just about the destination—it's about the journey. Here you'll find updates on our animals, projects, successes, setbacks, lessons learned, and the everyday moments that make building a homestead worthwhile.
Some days we'll celebrate milestones. Other days we'll solve problems, laugh at unexpected surprises, or learn from mistakes. Through it all, we hope this journal gives you an honest look at what it takes to build Turning Leaf, one thoughtful step at a time.
Thank you for following along.

Welcome to the first chapter of Turning Leaf Homestead.
Today, Turning Leaf exists more as a vision than a place. The website is live, our mission and values have been written, and the foundation has been laid. The next steps—finding the right property, growing our livestock programs, and creating products we're proud to share—are still ahead.
Every journey begins somewhere. This is ours.
Lessons Learned
Building a homestead isn't about making perfect decisions—it's about making thoughtful ones and learning from the results.
Looking Ahead
This week we're hoping to:
Register the Turning Leaf domain.
Continue the property search.
Transition the horses to Tribute feed.
Begin planning our social media pages.
