Hello
At Simple Grounded Life, we’re a family of five living slow, working hard, and finding joy in the everyday. From raising chickens and ducks to growing our own food and salvaging what we can, we believe anyone can start where they are—with whatever they have.
Our journey is rooted in faith, guided by simplicity, and shared with a touch of humor (because sometimes your chicken pecks you in the face). Whether you're just curious or ready to dive in, you're welcome here.
Let’s live a little more grounded—together.
Our Story
We didn’t start with a bunch of land, fancy tools, or any idea what we were doing. We just knew we wanted something different. A slower pace. A simpler life. A chance to raise our kids with dirt under their fingernails, purpose in their hands, and joy in their hearts.
So, we started small—one chicken, one garden bed, one goofy project at a time.
What began as a backyard experiment turned into a way of life: raising poultry, growing food, building what we need from what we find (especially if it’s free!), and discovering that real contentment doesn’t come from having it all—it comes from learning to use what you already have.
We call it A Grounded Life—not because we’ve figured it all out, but because we’re planted in something deeper. Our faith in Jesus keeps us rooted when life feels wild, and our community keeps us going when our energy runs low (and it does run low).
This journey isn’t just ours—it’s yours too. If you’ve ever wondered if you could live more intentionally, grow your own food, raise a few animals, or just enjoy the beauty in small moments… you're not alone. Whether you have acres or a patio, experience or none at all, you're invited to pull up a chair and grow alongside us.
Thanks for being here. Let’s live a simple, grounded life—together.
