We have chosen to live a simpler life...

"Although not quite Amish, but very close.

We consider ourselves a Christian Family

of Modern Day Pioneers."

Dutch Oven Cooking...

We catch and use rain water for our water neeeds on the homestead.

We wash our laundry by hand, outside in a wringer washer, during every season here in Missouri. We make our own homemade lye soap and homemade laundry soap too.

We bake our own bread, bakery items and preserve our own jellies, apple butter and veggies fresh from the garden.

Emmas' Bread Baking Day...

We homeschool our children in our one room log cabin school house or at the kitchen table (depending on the weather or our activities for the given day.)

We have a working mini-farm filled with various farm animals, gardening and farm chores too...

We welcome you and your family to visit with our family and enjoy life in the country as we continue to add new buildings, animals and items to our Pioneer Homestead and Village. Hope to see you soon...

Take a country stroll through our

Homestead and Village:

Enjoy our Historic Log Cabin Church, Emma's Bakery & AMISH Goods, Marshals' Office, Blacksmiths' Shop, Active One Room School House, Cedar Log Cabin, Indian Teepee and Summer Kitchen.

Emma's Bakery & AMISH Goods during the Fall Season.

Simple Beauty!

We are currently rebuilding a little log church for weddings, meetings, services and to help support our mission work to those in need...

We do not usually charge a fee to visit our Pioneer Homestead and Village. We do have the Emmma's Bakery & AMISH Goods filled with homemade items for you to enjoy. You may purchase them with the knowledge you have met those who have made them and you are helping to support not only a small family business but also helping us with our mission work. Clyde has traveled the world and helped those less fortunate than ourselves in small rural villages, huge cities, hospitals, churches and orphanages. We as a family, have sent many boxes of items to those very same people. We feel it is important and our christian duty to help those in need.
