Who we are

We are a family-owned and operated homestead design company based in Middle Tennessee. Our mission is to empower individuals and families to maximize the practical value of their backyards with passive gardens and permaculture food forests. We love tailoring designs and systems to fit your goals, lifestyle, budget, and property. 

Sustainability and self-sufficiency is more than a passion for us, it's a lifestyle. From our tiny house and 5-acre permaculture farm just outside of Nashville, we've dedicated our lives to living in a way that balances the needs of ourselves, our community, and the wild species we share this space with.
​
Our design philosophy is simple: how can we help you get the most out of your land with little to no effort and, simultaneously, make your piece of the planet better than you found it. 

Imagine living in an efficient and beautiful natural space that provides a diverse blend of food, herbs, animals, and medicinal plants.

Benefits of our design

​The world is in crisis and the answer is in our backyards. We’re depleting fossil fuels and our supply chains are failing, but that doesn’t mean we can’t thrive. Our homestead design services are focused on delivering a property layout that is beautiful, edible, and manageable.

Low maintenance

Our designers emphasize permaculture, a design process built around principles including diversity, regeneration, and productivity. In permaculture, we allow plants to do the work for us so we rarely have to intervene with nature to enjoy its rewards. ​

Resilient

How would it feel to know you could feed yourself and your family from the food on your property? With our design philosophy, it doesn’t matter if you’re rich or poor; you are capable of living independent of any systems beyond your control. ​

Good for humanity

It’s one thing to say you care about the planet; it’s another to live in a way that actually improves it. If you’ve been wanting an easier way to make the best choice for your future and the future of generations after you, learn how you can transform your living space with us. ​
