McLeod Homestead

About McLeod Homestead

Howdy y’all. We live on five acres in East Texas. We moved out here back in 2022 and are just starting to really put the land to work. Our hope is to get as self sufficient in as many things as possible.

What does this mean? Self sufficient to us is that we aren’t having to buy something from the store. For example, this year (2024 harvest) we were able to produce enough onions to last through to next harvest. While we realize onions aren’t expensive we have control of what is going into the soil and onion during the growing. Our onions taste better than the store bought onions (this happens with most things grown in a garden).

Some days are packed full of a bunch of homestead chores but some days are spent just doing yard work like weed eating for a couple hours and mowing for 3-4hours all in the heat of East Texas.

Come along with us as we figure out the homestead life.
