Meet your homesteading community! We realize it is impossible to dive into all the possible homesteading ​ventures. That is why we have selected a multitude of homesteading & natural living vendors to support & ​learn from. From pasture raised meats & natural skin care to herbal tinctures and homesteading services.

Meet the Chef- Jeremy Salig


Raised just outside Orlando, FL to a family where food ​culture was life, his formative experience was largely the ​osmosis of a Puerto Rican childhood. His cooking style seeks ​to blend the flavors and techniques of the cultures that have ​inspired and nurtured him. He’s held cook, pastry chef, and ​head chef positions and done various pop-ups in Asheville, ​Morganton, and around Western NC.
