I’m PJ, and my family loves the homesteading life! It’s something my wife and I have always wanted to do, but we grew up with ZERO HOMESTEADING EXPERIENCE!!!!! We grew up in beautiful southern California, 15 minutes away from the beach. As amazing as that was, we both dreamed of a life closer to land and animals. After getting married and moving to Utah, our family slowly grew. We had become a family of four living in a townhome with a small backyard filled with potted plants. In 2019 we dipped out feet into homesteading on 1 ¼ acre lot in Utah. In 18 months we were ready to do this for real. So in 2021 we packed everything up (including our sheep) and moved to North Carolina to 12 acres and we love every inch of our homestead! We raise Dorper sheep and have big plans for: • grass-fed lamb • fullblood Dorper breeding stock • meat chickens • laying chickens and ducks • heritage breed pork • honey • row crops • perennial food forest • and more I hope you join us on our journey, subscribe and ring the bell if you haven’t yet. • SUBSCRIBE ►    / highmountai.  . -------------------------------------------------------------------- DISCLAIMER: This video and description contains affiliate links, which means that if you click on one of the product links, I’ll receive a small commission.
