Welcome to Gnomestead Farms!

Hello and welcome to our little corner of the world! We’re Joe and Melissa, the proud operators of Gnomestead Farms, a family-run hobby farm nestled near Ellington, MO. Here, we’re raising chickens, ducks, rabbits, and goats, all while embracing sustainable and regenerative farming practices that nurture the land and support biodiversity.

Our mission is simple yet profound: to create a self-sustaining homestead that not only provides for our family but also serves as a model for others interested in regenerative farming. We believe in growing together with the land, ensuring that our practices benefit not just us, but future generations as well.

At Gnomestead Farms, we’ve infused our love for the whimsical and the natural into our visual identity. You’ll notice playful motifs like gnomes, chickens, and goats, all set against earthy colors that reflect our deep connection to the soil and the seasons. This isn’t just a farm; it’s a lifestyle, and we’re excited to share it with you.

Whether you’re a seasoned hobby farmer, an aspiring homesteader, part of a family looking to live more sustainably, or simply someone who cares about the environment, we’re here to inspire and engage you. Our values—sustainability, community, growth, and family—are at the heart of everything we do.

We’re not just farming; we’re building a community. Through this blog, our social media, and our emails, we’ll be sharing our journey, offering practical tips on homesteading, animal care, and gardening. We hope to learn from you as much as we aim to teach.

And speaking of community, every time you purchase one of our whimsical farm-themed products—like our t-shirts, hoodies, mugs, or blankets—you’re directly supporting our dream of a self-sustaining homestead. In the future, we plan to introduce more farm-made products like soaps and preserves, all crafted with love and care.

Looking ahead, we have big dreams for Gnomestead Farms. We plan to expand our farming practices, introduce new products, and continue to share our knowledge with the community. But for now, we’re focused on building a strong foundation and connecting with like-minded individuals like you.

So, join us on this adventure. Follow along as we grow, learn, and build Gnomestead Farms into a beacon of sustainable living. We’re thrilled to have you here and can’t wait to share more with you.
