We’re Brad and Jacinda, and Northern Nester is where we chronicle our transition from city life to a rural homestead with our family of eight!

Homesteading is an incredible opportunity to foster togetherness, and we invite you to do so along with us! 

Whether it’s on a large scale or small,  in an apartment, or on sprawling acreage – home education, gardening, traditional skills, and taking care of our minds and bodies in healthy, holistic, God-honoring ways has always proved to be beneficial for the good of society!
