About our farmstead
I’m Katie, owner of The Millhorn Farmstead. I’m a farm mama to four littles on earth and two in heaven. I’m obsessed with cows, chickens, whole foods and canning. I’m a farmers wife and a preachers daughter. I suck at grammar and I’m even worse at spelling. I was born with farming in my blood and I love to write, so here I am. Thank you for joining me on my homesteading journey.

Animal Husbandry
Our family farm sells certified A2A2 raw milk, pastured pork, poultry and organic fleece. We love farm direct sales. We also offer our products at select retail locations for those wanting a closer location to CDA. We do NOT feed any gmo’s, corn or soy to our animals. We also do not add any steroids or hormones to our feed.
We love farm tours.
I love meeting our customers. Every year we welcome dozens of families and school to tour the farm. I get the opportunity to teach and show how we raise our livestock and teach youngsters where their food comes from. Kids love gathering eggs from the coop, helping me plant vegetables and even “milking a cow.” Email me today to set up a farm tour for your family, school or co-op. Fees apply. We ask that you please respect our families privacy and farms bio-security measures and do not show up randomly without a scheduled appointment. Thank you
Healing The Body
After being diagnosed with a autoimmune disease several years ago, I saw a need to change the way we think about diseases in today’s modern world. Bringing our family back to the land we grew up on (literally), together, my husband and I are worked our way to a self sufficient life. Raising 4 kiddos, dairy cows, beef cows, sheep, chickens and heritage breed pigs. We have a huge garden and farm over 10,000 acres. We grow our own meat, eggs and raise our own produce. Canning, dehydrating and preserving foods the same way our grandparents did.

From Scratch living.. You either get it or you don’t!
“The first supermarket supposedly appeared on the American landscape in 1946. That is not very long ago. Until then, where was all the food? Dear folks, the food was in homes, gardens, local fields, and forests. It was near kitchens, near tables, near bedsides. It was in the pantry, the cellar, the backyard.”
― Joel Salatin, Folks, This Ain’t Normal: A Farmer’s Advice for Happier Hens, Healthier People, and a Better World
Hi Katie! Lovin your blogs. They are inspirational and refreshing.
Hi Katie! Thank you for sharing story on your blog. My husband was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease (MS) two years ago and it is so cool to see someone who is already doing what we are working towards doing! Living a healthier and more self-sufficient life. We know it isn’t easy and an autoimmune disease certainly doesn’t make it any easier. Thanks for being an inspiration to us. 🙂
I wanted to sign up for your newsletter but it keeps saying “opps something went wrong, try again later” Could you help me?
Rae, Thank you for the heads up! I needed to update a few things. I have added you to my newsletter, you should have a pending email.
Wow 10k acres! Incredible how do you even come close to affording 10k acres. We urban farm – keep milk goats, meat chickens, laying hens, organic garden, feeding 6 of us while still trying to have some yard for ourselves. I would love to have a few acres even. I have no idea how people can even afford that. land is so expensive! I just can’t even comprehend someone having 10k acres. I am green with envy!
Hey Katie!
I’m so happy that I stumbled across your website. I write a blog and would love to have you write a guest post for me. I know you must be crazybusy, but if you’re interested, please shoot me an email. Thanks much!

Your story is inspirational. 🙂 Good luck for your future.
Thank You!
Truly enjoy your blog. My husband & I just started homesteading & love every moment. We’ve done this through trial & error. Now that I’ve found your blog, I can learn from your mistakes & pray that I don’t make the same ones. Looking forward to upcoming newsletters.
