Randy & Linda Spears

Founders

We believe in the homesteading movement. Growing up on farms, we each learned to take care of animals, plant a garden and crops, and to harvest and preserve the harvest. We both credit any and all successes to our Heavenly Father.
God Provides!

Our Volunteer Group

Management Team

These people are the soul of the organization. They step in to take on the extra load so the Founders can focus on making sure everything happens. They come up with recommendations and details that put an extra special touch on all that we do.
