Hi There!
We’re Jeremiah and Holly, the happy husband and wife team of Restoring Roots Homestead. After the Air Force had us out of state for a few years, we arrived back in the Indianapolis area in September of 2019 and started dreaming about what could happen with this property we now call home. We’ve encountered more than a few challenges in starting up this homestead (word of advice: don’t try to build a house during a global pandemic), but we’re committed to following our calling: to be good stewards of this beautiful little piece of creation, sharing with others the joy of redemptive work that can be found all around us, even in the soil.
Check out the Blog section for updates on what’s happening here! (If you want to start at the beginning, go to the post titled “Okay, let’s go…”)
DOGS, DOGS, DOGS!
Yep, we love dogs. Specifically, we love rescuing dogs! Pictured here is a special pup, Bella, that we had the privilege of taking care of for 15 years. There is a special joy in adopting a shelter dog, and we encourage you to rescue a needy pup!
…and birds…
My hubby, Jeremiah, is a huge bird nerd. In fact, he’s a birding guide, brand ambassador for Kowa Optics, and amateur nature photographer. This pic gives you just a peek into his birding universe, driving ALL OVER to POSSIBLY catch a glimpse of something rare, and then telling me all about it. Check out his amazing photo collection here.
…and hiking.
There’s something wonderful about getting out in nature, experiencing the sights and sounds and smells of the earth and its multitude of creatures, with the added benefit of exercise. This pic was taken at Turkey Run State Park in Marshall, IN and is possibly my favorite hiking spot in the state 🙂
