For over 3 years, Heather has worked on her business tirelessly from her and her husband, former navy officer, Austin, and daughter, Rose from their Airstream. They’ve treaded across the grandeur of the American landscape, visiting a multitude of cities across several states in search of a place to call home, where they can begin work on their homestead.

They’ve found a home in the form of a 22-acre piece of land in the mountains of North Carolina.

In their travels, they fell in love with a piece of raw land in Morganton, North Carolina.

Today, they’ve already accumulated a number of chickens, ducks and goslings and now manage a small bee farm. Soon enough, Heather Holmes, they can move on to raising some cattle on their humble, yet beautiful piece of land.
