🌱 WE’RE REBUILDING — AND WE HAVE A NEW NAME! 🌱

If you’ve been following Sandy Desert Homestead, you already know this dream has been through some changes.

We packed up our Arizona life and made a new home in Southern California. 🌵➡️🌴

And while the location changed, the dream didn’t.

We’re still growing food, raising animals, learning, creating, living as simply as we can, and working toward our ultimate goal of having land and building our little homestead again.

So with this new chapter comes a new name:

🌿 WILD ROOTS HOMESTEAD 🌿

Rooted in the Southwest. Growing something wild.

This isn’t the end of Sandy Desert Homestead.

It’s the next chapter.

We’re rebuilding from the ground up—starting with chickens, gardens, and whatever little pieces of homestead life we can create here in Southern California. Eventually, we’re hoping for goats, pigs, maybe a horse, and our own piece of land again. 🐔🌱🐐🐖🐎

Thank you to everyone who followed the journey before. ❤️

Welcome to Wild Roots Homestead.

The roots are still here. We’re just growing somewhere new. 🌱🌵
