All About Awaiting Acreage
Hello, I’m Micah, creator of Awaiting Acreage.
Awaiting Acreage is a place for those seeking to learn more about homesteading, natural living, and cooking from scratch. Here you will find inspiration and tutorials for all of your urban homesteading goals.
My husband, Samuel and I live in Dallas, Texas, a city of over 1 million people within the greater DFW metroplex. Here we live and work full-time while building our dream of one day owning a small acreage to homestead outside of town.
In the meantime, we’re taking steps in creating our own urban homestead by building skills such as gardening, baking, making household products, and cooking meals with whole ingredients. It’s our way of living more sustainably while preparing for the day when we can have more space and create the life we desire on an acreage.
So if you find yourself wanting to incorporate more sustainable, wholesome practices in your own life and family, or you want to build the skills to homestead, welcome! We are here to walk alongside you and share our knowledge.
Our Story
I was born and raised in a small border town in South Texas in a family of ten. My childhood was filled with good cooking, competitive board games, and lots of laughter.
Ever since I can remember, I have always loved to cook. Whether it was cooking dinner for our family of ten, or rolling out pie crusts with my mom, cooking always gave me a sense of peace and accomplishment.
Samuel and I met in Dallas, Texas where we dated, married, and live today. Our similar desires to steward land well and live simply led me to start Awaiting Acreage, a place for couples and parents in a similar place, learning how to homestead and live healthy, sustainable lifestyles.
Today, I am a housewife and elementary school teacher. My husband and I wait for the day when we can buy land and I can become a stay-at-home mom. But until then, I am overjoyed to be here, learning the skills and building the know-how for the life we hope to have down the road.
