A Dream We Decided to Grow
Our story
Hi there! We are Kevin and Victoria, and we’re first generation homesteaders who decided to take a chance on a dream.
For as long as we can remember, we have dreamed on owning our own farm together. A place where we could slow down, work with our hands, raise our family close to the land and live a more intentional life.
For us, homesteading is about more than growing food or raising animals. It’s about creating a life centered around faith, hard work and the simple things that matter. It’s about learning to make things with our own hands, being good stewards of what we’ve been given and sharing what we can with people around us.
That same philosophy is at the heart of the products we create. From our handmade soaps to our tallow balms, we love using simple, thoughtfully chosen ingredients and traditional, time-honored practices whenever we can.
What started as a dream of owning a farm together has become our home, our family’s adventure, our classroom, and a way for us to connect with and give back to our community.
Welcome to Salt of the Earth Homestead.
We’re so glad you are here, and grateful to have you along for the journey!
Why Salt of the Earth?
Our name is inspired by Matthew 5:13 where Jesus tells his followers, “You are the salt of the earth.” To us, those words represent the kind of live we want to live and the kind of place we want to create.
Salt is humble but it has purpose. It preserves and brings out the best in what it touches. We believe that we should do the same..preserve what matters, and make a meaningful difference in our community.
We want Salt of the Earth Homestead to be a reflection of our values and a place we can share the fruits of our labor with others.
“You are the salt of the earth”
Matthew 5:13, NIV translation
