About Me

Hey There Friends, 

I’m Ashley, a mom of two, devoted wife, and the spirited force behind Homestead Mentors. Beyond those titles, I’m also a full-time Marketing Director at our local hospital, where I've learned invaluable lessons about the importance of health and well-being.

Fresh out of college, I jumped headfirst into the world of marketing, landing a role in the telecommunications industry. Yet, as the saying goes, sometimes our paths lead us to unexpected places. It wasn’t until I found myself immersed in healthcare marketing that I truly discovered where my heart belonged. Witnessing the resilience of individuals facing health challenges struck a chord with me, echoing the journeys of my own loved ones.

Four years into marriage, my husband and I felt the tug to expand our family, prompting deep reflection on the life we envisioned for our children. We craved a lifestyle that aligned with our values, from the food on our plates to the legacy we wished to leave behind. So, fueled by a shared desire for connection and sustainability, we took a leap of faith.

Leaving behind the hustle and bustle of city life, we traded it for a 10-acre homestead. Picture a cozy farmhouse nestled among majestic mountains, with a rustic barn standing proudly against the horizon—that’s where our adventure began.

Homesteading wasn’t just a hobby for us; it was a philosophy—a commitment to living in harmony with nature and nurturing a self-sufficient lifestyle. Our journey was peppered with challenges, but thankfully, we found mentors who generously shared their wisdom on everything from gardening to animal husbandry.

As we dove deeper into this transformative lifestyle, we discovered a shared yearning among our peers—a desire for connection, sustainability, and knowledge. And so, "Homestead Mentors" was born—a platform dedicated to empowering others to embrace self-sufficiency and reconnect with the land.

Through "Homestead Mentors," we’re not just sharing tips and tricks; we’re building a community—a family of like-minded individuals who are passionate about living intentionally and sustainably. Whether you’re a seasoned homesteader or just dipping your toes into the world of self-sufficiency, there’s a place for you here.

So, pull up a chair, pour yourself a cup of herbal tea, and join us on this incredible journey. Together, let’s sow the seeds of a sustainable future—one homestead at a time.

~Ashley
