EGG STAND
HOURS

My journey into homesteading began with a small flock of quails and before I knew it, chicken math had taken over. Today, my flock includes quails, chickens, pheasants, Frillback pigeons and runner ducks.

​

In 2019, I began my second home renovation in Pittsburgh’s Avalon neighborhood, where I transformed my backyard into a sustainable oasis complete with raised garden beds, composting, rainwater collection, and of course, chickens and quails. Once that project was complete, I returned to my hometown of Sharpsville, PA to take on a new challenge: restoring an 1864 Victorian home and rebuilding my homestead from the ground up.

​

I’m a passionate hunter, gatherer and gardener striving to live a healthy, productive lifestyle by growing and harvesting much of my own food. I specialize in herbal teas and their medicinal uses. My goal is to share extra eggs, produce and herbs with others – helping to sustain the homestead and advocate for eating local and clean.
