About East Coast Homestead

Hi, I’m Meara and welcome to our East Coast Homestead!

I was born and raised in the Midwest until my husband and I, a year into marriage, decided to make our migration down south. We dreamed of being closer to the water, away from the harsh winters, and building our own little homestead one day.

We landed in a beautiful little beach town off the East Coast. 9 months into moving down here we were blessed with finding out we were pregnant with our oldest. We began the journey of house hunting before the arrival of our daughter. We found a cute little half-acre ranch not far from the intercoastal. The property had been neglected for years but we could see the potential of what this place could be.

As long as I can remember I’ve always had a passion for learning timeless traditions; baking from scratch, sewing, and gardening. From there it has evolved into wanting to build our little homestead, raising our livestock, and sharing how anyone can do this too! We dreamt of small kids running around our backyard, eating berries straight from the garden, and enjoying eggs from our chickens.

Join me and my family as we turn our small half-acre into a flourishing homestead. My hope is, if you are anything like me, we can learn these timeless skills together and pass them down to the next generation.
