Our Story

Long before my wife and I wanted to start a family, we knew that—if we ever did—at least one of us would be staying home. But even at the time, two English teacher salaries didn't exactly mesh with the vision we had for our future family.

So, with an eye toward the future, a little baby fever, and a wife in love with gardening, canning, and staying up late to feed "Breadediah" (her sourdough starter), I created The Homestead Stop to better fill in that vision.

Having grown up around barn animals and big open spaces, we're excited to help fuel your homesteading efforts—whether you have plenty of space or (like us) you're looking for ways to maximize what you do have. With our broad spectrum of supplies, we hope we can help your family grow happier, healthier, and more self-sufficient.

Thanks for visiting our site and taking the time to get to know us!
