We’re Michelle and Codi, from the YouTube channel More Than Farmers. We've been homesteading in Ohio for over ten years now—raising a family, growing food, and figuring out how to do both without completely wearing ourselves out (most days).

We’re passionate about efficient, sustainable homesteading that brings the family together. We aim to feed our family year round from our chemical-free gardens, grass-fed beef, pastured eggs, and pastured broiler chickens.

We're all in when it comes to DIY, creativity, and making things work with what we have. And when we’re not working on the homestead, you’ll probably find us out hiking, exploring, or grabbing ice cream as a family.

We believe in homesteading that’s sustainable—not just for the land, but for real life too. Because if it’s not something you can keep up with long-term, it’s probably not going to last. We’ve seen it happen… and we’ve been close ourselves.

So whether you’re just getting started or trying to simplify what you’ve already built, we’re here to share what’s worked, what hasn’t, and how to build a homestead life you can actually enjoy.
