A Copper Country Homestead

This blog has been created to share our experiences homesteading in the Copper Country. We are located in Houghton County of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. This land has given us the opportunity to grow a 9,000 sq. ft. fruit and vegetable garden, plant a small orchard, keep chickens and bees and make maple syrup. When we are not busy here on the property, we are out and about camping, kayaking, fishing and foraging this beautiful area.

About Me

My photo
Copper Country Homestead
As a girl raised in the suburbs of Detroit, large scale gardening and homesteading is a new experience for me. My boyfriend is a seasoned outdoorsman who loves to tinker, build, create, hunt and is always busy around here. This blog is my way to share my enjoyment of the learning process with others. It's also intended to share my love for the Copper Country. I visited this area as a child and am proud to have made the decision to make it my home.
