Living Traditions Homestead Spring 2023-690.jpg

In 2016, we made the biggest (and best) decision of our lives.

We both quit our jobs and moved from Arizona to the Missouri Ozarks to be full-time homesteaders.   

We now live a life that is both enjoyable and fulfilling.  It allows us time to grow in our faith and raise our family in a way that we had only dreamed of.

We'd love to have you join us on YouTube where we share weekly updates from our homestead.

God Bless, Kevin & Sarah
