Things We Love

Welcome to our "Things We Love" page.  Like most of you, when we find a product or service that we love, we like to share with others.  We are not getting paid or kick backs for doing so.  We just love to share.

Salt

Redmond

We were introduced to Redmond's Real Salt through a homesteader on YouTube.  After tasting their salt and knowing all the great minerals it contains, we could never go back to any other salt.  Along with their salt, we like their electrolyte powder.  I honestly am terrible at drinking the amount of water that I am supposed to.  Using this powder, helps me get my intake with all the electrolytes my body needs to perform properly.

Lastly, we also purchase their bentonite clay.  It has so many uses.  You can make facial masks, add it to your tooth powder, make a paste for stings and rashes, and I could go on.

DoTERRA

I was introduced to essential oils many years ago.  I basically used them because they smelled nice.  Over the years my eyes have been opened, and I found DoTerra.  I became a wellness advocate.  Trying to help those I love with all natural alternatives to personal and home care.  They have many products that I love.  My favorites are the Tri-Ease that help ease my hive attacks.  My clove oil numbs my toothaches.  There is Deep Blue that sooths my aches.

Agricultural Fields

Landstruck

This is the company we bought our property from.  From the moment we discovered them, we just had a feeling.  We stopped into their office and met Glenn.  We had a long, nice conversation, and this made us very excited to see what they had to offer.  The first piece of land we looked at was the one.  What made this all perfect, was the low money down and great price.  They take great care of their customers.  If you are looking for off grid land in Tennessee, go check them out. Tell them I sent you.

Twisted Trails Farm

Rick had a best friend growing up in school.  During high school, his friend moved away, but they kept in touch.  As everything else, life happens and they lost touch several years ago.  Recently, it was weighing heavily on Rick's mind, and he did some digging.  I am happy to say that he found his friend.  They talked for an hour like time has not gone by.  So here is the interesting part.  His friend is now located in Tennessee 2 hours from our property.  What is even more interesting they have a farm.  They are doing the things that we want to do.  I am excited to meet them both and see all they have built.  So please go check out their web site.  They have a farmstand and also sell some goods on Etsy.  They can also be found on Facebook.  Please go show them some love.

   Nicole Apelian, Ph.D.

This woman has quite the resume.  She starred on the History Channel Alone, Herbalist, Biologist, Wilderness expert, and the list goes on.  I am including two links for her.  One link is about her and the books and apothecary items she sells. I own a few of her books.  The second link is a Lost Skills Academy.  The courses are not too bad of price.  I have taken a few of them myself.
