Join us on Ruckus Creek Homestead!

Hi!  We're Jake and Kim Reynolds. After making a career in public service, we both started looking toward a more simple life. In 2013, we tip-toed into self-sufficiency with a goat and a few chickens; and in 2016, we dove - head first - into self employment, without a clue as to what would be involved for either one. 

Like many others, our lives are lived in what feels like total chaos.  Being self-employed is hard!  Add to that, a "real" full time job, family, and homesteading, including farm animals and sometimes we are just surviving the ruckus around us. BUT, here we are, over a decade later, still living and still learning.

An un-named creek divides our property.  When we are looking for respite....we cross it, into the woods for the peace they provide.  We are inviting you to venture along with us; through the homesteading projects, through the fun of laser designs, through the crafts and kitchen creations...through the woods and across RUCKUS CREEK!
