Hi there and welcome to my backyard homestead blog! My name’s Chelsea Wells-Barrett.

I’ve been writing on Grow Where You Sow, formerly The Green Acre Homestead, for almost 3 years. Readers come here to learn how to incorporate homesteading skills in their modern world in order to thrive on their homestead while working towards a more latter-day lifestyle.

Grow Where You Sow is all about helping you to achieve a fulfilled, successful life while homesteading. From gardening tips to homesteading for beginners, I’m here to provide the best support you can find.

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.

A little bit more about my homestead…

My husband, Emerson, and I are in year 5 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.

Needless to say, my hands and heart are full and 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 our victories and allow me to help you learn to thrive on your homestead.
