Welcome To Holler And a Half

We’re a husband and wife duo embracing modern homesteading on 5 acres and a tight budget. Here, we share our many passions tied to the land, from seasonal cooking and growing our ingredients to animal husbandry and fixer upper projects. Join us as we learn and share while transforming our 5-acre fixer-upper in Middle Tennessee into our family’s legacy.
