Welcome to Leddy's Homestead
Our 23-acre family homestead is dedicated to growing food, raising livestock, and inspirating children and families to embrace a healthier, more connected way of life.
Have you ever listened to a Kindergartener explain how watermelons grow on trees or chicken eggs magically appear in the grocery store? So have we! And the lack of knowledge is heartbreaking.
That's why my family and I have decided years ago to give back to our community by starting a homestead.
Here children and families can see how food is grown, and experience it firsthand, and taste the difference between homegrown and store-bought.
After we were discharged from the military in 2014, we began our journey with a 1/2 acre of land in Missouri. We spent 4 years growing a variety of fruits and vegetables and enjoyed donating to the local food bank and elderly neighbors. But unfortunately, soon found out that our dreams and goals for the homestead are too big for the land we had. So, we moved!
We are now in Texas and own 23 acres, and we are ready to continue our mission and start again with even bigger goals and projects. And we are inviting YOU to be part of our journey.
At Leddy's Homestead, we seek to help children and communities to understand the importance of growing gardens and the benefits of fresh produce. Children in today's world grow up with too many frozen dinners and fast foods. That's why we are creating an educational family homestead to bring back the value and knowledge of fresh eating and healthy living; but we still have a lot to accomplish.
We need your support to establish our fruit tree orchard "Obstkorb" (which translated means Fruit basket in German) build more enclosures to add animals and attractions for children to enjoy.
One of our long-term goals is to create peaceful cabin retreats, where families, veterans and active service members can reconnect with nature, learn about homesteading, and learn about everyday stress. As the caregiver of a disabled veteran, i have seen how important it is to have a place to slow down, breath, and heal. Our hope is to one day share the peace of the homestead, the comfort of the animals, and the restorative power of nature with others who need it most.
