About Mike and Barb Haigwood

Mike and Barbara Haigwood bring decades of hands-on experience in homesteading, land stewardship, and sustainable living. From gardening and livestock care to resource management, their work reflects a deep commitment to living simply, responsibly, and in harmony with nature.

Having homeschooled their children, they continue to share that same spirit of curiosity and self-reliance through engaging, skill-based education. Whether teaching the art of sourdough making or guiding classes on raising and processing chickens, the Haigwoods exemplify that true preparedness grows from purpose, patience, and a genuine love for the land.
