About ATHOME-stead

ATHOME-stead is a Christ-centered family homestead and ministry built in obedience to a vision God placed on our hearts. What began as a simple desire for a home has grown into a living testimony of God’s provision, faithfulness, and purpose. Our homestead, Rising Farmers Academy, and ATHOME–Beauty for Ashes all flow from that same calling — to steward the land, raise up the next generation, and glorify Jesus through hands-on discipleship, education, and natural provision. We view ATHOME-stead as a gift from God and our ministry for His Kingdom, trusting Him to lead each step as He continues to unfold His greater plan.
