From City Life to Country Living

WELCOME

Freedom Ranch is our dream come true. Join us on our journey, starting from the day we first experienced the spectacular view and knew it had to be ours, to the future, where we are striving to reach the goal of living off the land and leave our city life behind. We look forward to years of raising animals, growing gardens and making this land all we ever dreamed!

#10 We dedicate Grumpy's Garage in memory of Chuck's Dad

We had the pleasure of hosting some of our family and friends for the weekend on the Ranch last May. We dedicated "Grumpy's Garage to Chuck's dad Charlier, whom passed from COVID last Nov. The lumber used to build it was from their family farm in WI, which was milled by Chuck and his dad over 40 years ago. bensound-adaytoremember Loving-This-Moment_AdobeStock_322579073 Acoustic-Uplifting_AdobeStock_438224454

#7 Homesteading: Reclaiming our FREEDOM; From CITY LIFE to COUNTRY LIVING!

We are new Homesteaders. Chuck and I sit down to talk about why we are moving our family from the city out to the country, what our hopes and dreams are for this new lifestyle, and all the challenges that come along with Homesteading from scratch. We are on the "road to God's blessings"... Adobe Stock: Honey Take My Hand, Cody Francis

#6 Tree Harvesting ~ Freedom Ranch Homestead #6

After learning the cost of having a log cabin built and the current price of lumber, we have decided to harvest our own White Pines on the property to build the cabin with, as well as the barns. This video shows us choosing which trees will be perfect for the cabin, Chuck harvesting a couple of them (reliving his younger years as a logger!), and the kids, my dad and bonus mom helping us clean up the mess we created. We can't wait to make the move from city life to country living!

#5 Grumpy's Garage Gets Siding

This is a partial time-lapse video of us putting the exterior on our newly built shed, the first building to be constructed on our land. The wood we are using came from Chuck's family farm and was harvested and milled by Chuck and his father 40 years ago. The shed is our shelter in a storm, a warm room to settle in after a hard days work, a safe place for our belongings to reside, and a future "home" for our son.

#4 Adding the metal roof to Grumpy's Garage

The metal roof is successfully put on Grumpy's Garage and no one got hurt! We are so new to building and so grateful that this weekend was a success for getting one step closer to finishing our first project on our new land. It is the first of many projects to come as we make Freedom Ranch our forever home!
