I’m Erica, the voice behind the site and manager of Teal Homestead operations. I’m married to Bryon (the homesteads muscles 💪🏼) and we have four daughters together: Kailyn, Kamryn, Kaidyn & Karsyn. My goal is to inspire and help people live healthier, happier lives by sharing real-life tips, goods and resources to make “modern homesteading” easy, relatable and enjoyable! No matter your level of knowledge, interest, or involvement in a similar lifestyle, you’re welcome here. Good vibes only.

Moving from one of the largest counties in Florida where food access was steps away to a small city of less than 1,000 residents and limited food access was quite an eye opener and shift. COVID then halted and slowed the distribution of food options and placed households limits. Motivated to change what we purchase and consume and the impacts of our environmental footprint launched Teal Homestead.

“Teal Homestead aims to expand our local food system, improve food security, increase access to fresh healthy produce and educate the community about sustainable practices and agriculture.”
