Welcome to our Homestead!

THE HOUSTON HOMESTEAD

Since becoming facinated with the American Pioneer Era several years back and becoming tired of the rat race, our family has had a dream of homesteading.

We started out at a 1 acre home in Landenberg, PA. We gardened, canned, dryed, salted, but were still too close to civilization to really make a change.

In May of 1998, we relocated to North Carolina and are living in an apartment until we find that perfect piece of country.

If you share this dream, we are glad you decided to visit us! If you are just curious, we hope you learn something. If you think we are crazy, you don't know what you are missing.

**UPDATE** We found & purchased 6 acres with creek and natural spring in Rock Hill, SC!
