Hi there! I’m Selina, a homesteader and crunchy momma. I’m so glad you’re here!

My passion for healthy living and self-sufficiency grew into a dream of one day having my very own farm. Through years of hard work and never giving up, Milkmaid Farm was born!

How my story began

I grew up in a city, dreaming of a humble life homesteading and raising my babies… Now I’m living out my dream.

 I remember when homesteading seemed like a far away dream to me, and now here I am! Milking my cow, feeding the chickens, and tending to the garden– all while raising my two boys with my husband. But it didn’t happen overnight.

My homesteading journey began with a small garden that me & my father planted over a decade ago. From this point on I began learning as many homesteading skills as I could. Learning these skills led me to dreaming of one day having my own homestead. I realized how important growing our own food, cooking from scratch, and self-sufficiency truly is– especially in the world we live in today.

Homesteading has changed mine and my family’s lives for the better– which is what fuels my passion to share this lifestyle with others. 

Are you ready to create your own homestead? You can start today, in the home you’re in now. I’d love to show you how!

Milkmaid Farm FAQ

Our humble farm is located in a small rural town in North Carolina. Surrounded by lush green forest, our 3.5 acres is home to cows, chickens, sometimes pigs, sometimes turkeys, ducks, barn cats, and our two pups!

We like to shop at local co-ops, farmers markets, Azure Standard, as well as places like Whole Foods, Sprouts, Costco, and Natural Grocers.
