About Us

“This isn’t just a homestead. It’s a lifeline—for all of us.”

Food. Skills. Community.

 

At Elder’s Hollow, we’re not starting over. We’re starting forever.

This place began as a flicker of an idea during one of the hardest seasons of our lives. After years of working, building, and believing in something that was stolen from us, we were left with broken contracts, broken trust, and an uncertain future.

In 2021, we purchased a business from someone we considered a friend — a business we poured everything into. In March of 2024, while I was losing my sight, caring for a one-year-old, and seven months pregnant with our second child, that business was taken back through fraud and deception. The legal system offered us little recourse. We were told to move on.

So we did.

But we didn’t just move on — we moved forward.

Elder’s Hollow Was Born Out of Fire

Not as a dream. As a lifeline.

In the wake of loss, we began planting something real — not just for our own survival, but for the well-being of anyone who feels like the world has forgotten what matters.

In June of 2025, I regained my vision through surgery. And with new eyes, we doubled down on building a space where others could heal too — reconnecting to food, tradition, and each other.

Now, we’re building Elder’s Hollow on 13 acres of land in Rackerby, California — a regenerative teaching farm and refuge for ancestral wisdom.

What We’re Creating

Elder’s Hollow isn’t just a homestead. It’s a multi-layered community ecosystem:

• The Elder’s Keepers CSA – A Community Supported Agriculture program that lets families take part in the land, the learning, and the legacy.
• The Dry Pantry & Refill Station – An on-site pantry with bulk essentials in refillable containers.
• Monthly Barter Farmer’s Market – Goods exchanged through barter, with a participation fee to cover overhead.
• The Healing Space – A sacred space for gatherings, sound healing, and wellness workshops.
• Youngster’s Hollow – Youth education through hands-on, ancestral skill-building.
• The Return Protocol – A digital archive preserving and teaching old-world traditions.
• Intergenerational Outreach – Field trips for elders to share stories, recipes, and wisdom documented for future generations.

Why We’re Doing This

We were told to give up. We chose to build something eternal.

Elder’s Hollow is our response to a world that feels disconnected and uncertain. It’s a way to grow food, raise children, and invite others into a life that doesn’t revolve around systems that no longer serve us.

Whether you’re here to support, to learn, or to remember… we welcome you.

This isn’t just a homestead. It’s a lifeline — for all of us.
