Learn with Us

Here you’ll find some “just for fun” blogs and some educational ones. We have both had careers in adult learning, so education is important to us. When we were first launching Lakeview Family Homestead, we connected with many helpful people and learned so much. However, there was one person who said, “we don’t have time to help aspiring farmers.” We get it, farmers are busy people (we certainly are!).

We’re more than happy to help!
