About

Hi I’m Melissa

I’m a wife, mom, agriculture enthusiast, and historian. I’ve spent the last decade working in an agriculture focused museum and have developed a love for the disappearing skills of the generations before us.

My family and I are embarking on a new adventure of building a home on a unique piece of land in Central Florida. Along the way we are hoping to develop the property into a thriving ecosystem.

In the meantime I’ll be sharing some of the skills I’ve picked up along the way especially as we live in a typical suburban home while we are building.
