Welcome to our Old Fashioned Homestead... Clyde & the boys have recently finished our side porch. It's a great place to enjoy our morning coffee & tea, a wonderful area to enjoy visiting with family and friends... and oh, so relaxing.

Nestled in the Missouri Ozarks. just outside the little ol' town of Rosebud, you'll find our (work-in-progress) homestead, constisting of our home which is an old fashioned, micro-cottage containing a total of 760 sq ft of living area. Our family Welding business is located near our home as are several log cabins and our garden area. We are located 4 miles South of Rosebud on Highway T. We welcome you and your family or group to visit with us April - December 10 am - 6 pm Thursday - Sunday. Hope to see you soon.
Hi, we're Clyde and Emma Zelch. We met in Jr. High, fell in love and married just days after our High School Graduation.
We've been blessed with six children: Zeke, Suzanna, Jacob, Caleb, Seth and Noah.
We have eight grandchildren: Garrett, Ella-Grace, Clint, Colt, Cash, Alaina, Mason and Erin. So many grandchildren... we love them all dearly.
Sadly, we lost Garrett a little while ago. May God hold him dear and he rest in peace, until we meet again.....
Now that you've met the family, we can share our goal with you...
That goal is to retire in the country. To be nearly self-sufficient, manage our businesses of Welding and our Old Fashioned Pioneer Homestead and Village and the teaching of Pioneer Life Skills. We hope to live a more content lifestyle and gain a better appreciation for our family, friends and our home.
We do not wish everyone to be as we are, or do what we do...having said that, we do feel if more people were more content with their surroundings, they could enjoy time with family and friends instead of worrying so much about keeping up with the Jones', as the saying goes....
We have been interested in log cabins and pioneer ways since we met. We fell in love... with each other and a dream. That dream is to become experts in the field of log cabins, pioneer ways and to become nearly self-sufficient. In time, we may, perhaps obtain the expertise we have been searching for nearly 30 years now. We have rebuilt more than 24 cabins, many others have been built from trees we have cut right off of various properties and build by hand. It is an art, a forgotten craft. We hope to keep it alive and share it with you and yours while we can.
Our sons help Clyde with his welding business and around the farm.
Clyde teaches a Concealed Weapons Class for the Concealed Carry in the State of Missouri. Clyde holds classes at our homestead or will travel to your site for a class with you and your friends and family. For more information on this Clyde may be reached at 573-764-3719 or on his cell phone at 573-205-7629.
Our only daughter Suzanna will be occasionally helping me with the canning, gardening and the old fashioned crafts, available at our homestead and village.
