Build the Dream from Scratch

Timber Homestead is for those who want to build with their hands, live off-grid, and create something that lasts generations. Traditional carpentry, natural building methods, and land management—the way it was done before shortcuts.

What We Teach

Timber Frame Construction

Traditional joinery, natural building methods, structures built to last centuries

Off-Grid Systems

Energy independence, water systems, sustainable infrastructure

Land Management

Site selection, land assessment, working with the terrain

Heritage Livestock

Jersey cows, Hereford cattle—breeds chosen for homestead scale

Note on Livestock: We focus on heritage breeds suited for small homesteads—Jersey for dairy, Hereford for beef. These breeds have proven themselves over generations.

The Timber Oracle

Every method we teach is verified against pre-1900 documentation through our Timber Oracle research system. No modern shortcuts—just techniques that have stood the test of time.
