Agape farms is more than just a farm in the forest.
It's a community built on the foundation of gods love.
Oh my, where do we start? Do we start with how we got here and why we came? Yeah, let's do that.
It was November 2020 and the world "as we knew it" was turning into a crazy place where peace was hard to find. We had a new son and two older kiddos who we had just pulled out of public school due to the crazy COVID times we were experiencing. Life was feeling a bit unstable and we needed to find some kind of peace in all the chaos.
Cue the adventure.
After searching social media I fell upon a post from a little homestead in the middle of the Sam Houston National Forest (where we often visited to relax). They were offering "self- guided" farm tours and it sounded like something that was right up our alley. We had tried our hand at chickens but had experienced lots of set backs and bumps along the way. We built a coop but had a predator come through and clean us about out. We were devastated after all the work it took to raise them so we were looking for some ideas on how to better protect them. We were hoping we would find that in the farm tour experience along with some family fun during COVID shut down times.
Here, we met the Chrisenberry family. It was almost like meeting long lost family. We talked about our views of the current climate of the world and realized that we weren't as alone as we thought. We had similar outlooks and visions of what we could do to navigate it all. Follow along with our adventure into homesteading on our new blog called, Stead On!
