Welcome to Yellowknife Homestead

Our Story

In 2005, we felt God leading us to move our family to Wooster, Ohio. As we looked for the perfect place to settle, we found this lovely 6 acre property. We built a new home, and one day while Kelly was painting one of the bedrooms, she questioned God as to the color of the house and even several of the rooms. "Why Yellow, Lord? You know that it's not a color that I would choose normally." His answer was, "This is your Yellowknife."

What that meant to us was that this would be our Sanctuary. Our safe place. Yellowknife was the destination that we wanted to run to when life wasn't going to be easy, but we chose to stay and take responsibility and face the problems head on. Speed up 20 years later, and God puts us on this piece of land and tells us this is your 'Yellowknife'. Your 'Sanctuary' for not running, but staying put and persevering despite all the odds.

Yellowknife Homestead is a family-owned Homestead located in the heart of Ohio. We are a large family of 9 children, several spouses and soon to be 5 grandchildren. Our homestead now spans almost 10 acres where we raise our own food, including lamb, chickens, turkeys, eggs, vegetables, and fruit. We believe in the importance of self-sustainability and enjoy canning, freezing, and preserving our harvest. Join us on our journey as we share our experiences and knowledge with you.
