Hey there, I'm Annie!
I’m here to help you cut through the noise and actually figure out chickens, gardening, and homesteading—without the overwhelm, guesswork, or Pinterest perfection pressure.
Midwest girlie
I didn’t grow up on some Pinterest-perfect homestead. I grew up in South Dakota, where real food came from someone you knew and "slow living" wasn’t a trend — it was just life. These days, I live tucked into the Idaho mountains, raising birds, building off-grid systems, and figuring it out as I go. I'm not fancy. I'm just resourceful, stubborn, and not here to be told by the FDA what's "safe."
Green Thumb Guru
If I’m not out wrangling chickens or hauling buckets, I’m probably elbow-deep in the garden. I grow what I eat because I don’t want produce that’s been sprayed, picked before it's ripe, shipped, and stored for weeks. Give me dirt under my nails and heirloom seeds over sterile grocery store shelves any day.
Community Builder
I’m not interested in chasing followers — I’m here to build something real. Whether it’s helping you automate your coop, decode your chicken’s weird behavior, or learn why your towels feel crunchy (hint: it’s your detergent), I create tools and content that actually help. I believe in local connections over internet likes, and if I can help you grow your first garden or raise your first flock, that’s a win in my book.
Why Trust ME
Because I’m not here to sell you a fantasy — I’m living the real thing.
I didn’t grow up doing this. I learned the hard way: one frozen waterer, failed garden, and rogue chicken at a time. I built my homestead from scratch in the Idaho mountains, off-grid and off-script — with a grow room inside and almost 100% chemtrail-proof greenhouse outside (yes, really).
I don’t gatekeep. I share exactly what’s worked for me — from mealworms to meat birds, soil hacks to coop automations — because you deserve more than half-baked advice from someone who’s never actually hatched a chicken.
I’m not a guru, I’m just saying what everyone’s thinking: the system’s broken, and growing your own food is the most radical act of rebellion we’ve got left.
So if you want someone who gets it — someone who’s walked through the overwhelm and figured out how to make this lifestyle doable (and actually fun) — you’re in the right place.
Let’s grow something real.
Why choose my course
Because Googling every chicken question at midnight isn’t a strategy.
My "Hatch to Harvest" course is the guide I wish I had when I started — no fluff, no filler, just straight-up answers and hard-earned experience. It's for people who actually want to raise their own meat birds without the overwhelm, confusion, or sugar-coated nonsense.
Inside, you'll get step-by-step instructions for everything from setting up your brooder to harvesting clean, healthy meat — ethically, confidently, and with your sanity intact. Whether you're brand new or just tired of piecing together info from a bunch of random YouTube videos, this course will walk you through it all — start to finish.
You don’t need to be a full-blown farmer to raise your own food. You just need someone who’s done it, messed it up a few times, and figured out what actually works.
I made this for the everyday homesteader who’s ready to do things differently — because raising your own food shouldn’t be complicated. It should be common sense.
What problems can I solve
You’re here because you want real answers from someone who’s lived it — the good, the bad, and the broody.
If you’ve ever felt…
Overwhelmed by chick care and unsure if you're doing it "right"
Confused about coop setup, predator protection, or how to keep things clean
Frustrated with all the conflicting info about raising meat birds ethically
Grossed out by store-bought chicken and ready to take control of your food
Tired of wasting time searching through YouTube videos and Facebook groups
I’ve got you.
I’ll walk you through every part of raising chickens from hatch to harvest with clear, practical steps — no jargon, no guilt-tripping, no fluff. Just real help from someone who’s done it off-grid, on a budget, and without a team of farmhands.
This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about learning, doing, and feeding your family real food with real confidence.
