Hello! I’m Teri Page, a homesteader, author, and mama of two.

I started down this homesteading path long before I had children, and happily continued to sink my hands into the soil alongside my growing kids.

My passion is to share the homesteading lifestyle in a way that is inspirational, joyful, and accessible for your unique life. Family Homesteading is equal parts how-to and you-can-do-it! I share stories from my own life, and from the life of other amazing homesteaders, alongside kid-friendly projects and recipes from our working homestead.

Above all, Family Homesteading is about connection – with nature, with the seasons, and with each other.

Praise for Family Homesteading

In this comprehensive guide to homesteading with children, Teri Page covers all the bases with topics like cooking, gardening, foraging, fermenting, and even herbal wellness. She gives us knowledgeable and practical guidance in this well thought out resource, including recipes, tips, and advice from other experienced homesteaders. This is a book that I will be recommending to all of my friends who have families of their own, whether they are already homesteading or simply homestead dreaming!”
Colleen CodekasAuthor of Healing Herbal Infusions
In her book, Family Homesteading, Teri Page shares valuable details of her own family’s homesteading efforts, highlighting the many aspects of a rustic lifestyle that children, especially, love to embrace. The profiles of other families embracing the homestead life are inspiring as well, but this book is much bigger than a ‘how to homestead with kids’ guide. Delving into the instructions and recipes included in this book is a great starting point for getting back to traditional living — with the whole family. Most importantly, though, the book gives readers a sense of the satisfaction that comes from a life grounded in natural rhythms.

In an age where we are growing increasingly removed from the cycles of nature, this book serves as a great reminder of nature’s bounty and offers excellent suggestions for enjoying the homesteading lifestyle with the whole family.
