Hi there and welcome to my backyard homestead blog! My name’s Chelsea Wells-Barrett. Homesteader, homemaker, worker, wife, fur-mama, and creator of Grow Where You Sow (formerly The Green Acre Homestead).

Grow Where You Sow is all about our experiences on our little homestead located in W. Central Florida. My husband, Emerson, and I are on year #4 of this enlightening, sometimes terrifying journey.

Made up of 1.25-acres, we raise rabbits, chickens, ducks, and our most recent new addition was a pig! We grow our gardens in raised beds and plant fruit trees whenever we find a good deal.

I’m honored you’re here and have stuck around long enough to read a little about why I keep up with this site.

My intentions are to provide insight, actionable advice, quality information and a little hope for folks wanting to thrive in the homesteading lifestyle. My goal is to create a safe, honest space to discuss our experiences as we learn together.

Needless to say, my hands and heart are full, my cup runneth over. I’m thankful for the opportunity to live this life.

I hope you stick around to digest my mistakes, rejoice with me in my victories and find something of use to you here.
