About Megan’s Journey to Homesteading

Hi! I’m Megan, the heart and hands behind At Home on the Homestead. I am excited to share about how the best of homesteading can be brought into your life.

Here you’ll find from scratch food, homesteading tips and tricks, plus a bit about how our homestead is run.

Our family lives on 10 acres in rural Ohio. My husband and I love getting to watch our two little boys grow up roaming the farm. When we lived in town, we dreamed of fresh garden produce. We yearned for a coop full of chickens laying eggs, & dairy animals to feed us.

When the full farm wasn’t in the cards for us yet, we decided to turn our in-town home into the homestead we craved right where we were.

With my dream of owning more land and animals at the front of my mind, I began to source local, whole-foods. I learned to cook and preserve, & built a container garden in my front yard with that goal in mind.

I realized that I could be a homesteader even on a small in-town lot, and you can too!

If you want to build a life centered around cooking with healthy local food, learning to grow food for your family, and creating a homestead of your own, you have come to the right place!

I’m glad you are here!

From crafting homemade meals and mastering the art of canning, to experimenting with kitchen staples made from scratch, every post is a glimpse into my love for simple, nourishing living.

This blog isn’t just about sharing what I create—it’s about discovering what we can make together!

I hope for this to be a welcoming space for anyone who believes in the joy of homemade. For anyone who craves the satisfaction of quality ingredients, and the connections we build around the table and in our homes.

Whether you’re a seasoned cook, a busy parent looking for quick homemade solutions, or simply someone who loves a good from-scratch recipe swap, I invite you to pull up a chair and join the fun. Together, we’ll explore the tips, techniques, and traditions that bring a little of this lifestyle to everyday life.

Welcome to my homestead—where every recipe and daily life is an opportunity to share, savor, and celebrate the simple pleasures of homemade living.
