About Page — Rooted Dad Edition
Hey, I’m Just a Dad Trying to Grow Something That Matters.
I didn’t grow up farming.
I didn’t inherit land.
I didn’t know much about gardening, raising animals, or living closer to the land.
But I knew I wanted different for my family.
I wanted my son to know what real food tastes like.
I wanted him to learn skills that would actually serve him in life.
I wanted him to see that good things take time, patience, and a little dirt under your nails.
So We Started Small.
Some quail.
A little backyard garden.
Plenty of mistakes.
And along the way, I realized something…
→ It’s not about having acres of land.
→ It’s not about being perfect.
→ It’s not about waiting for “someday.”
It’s about starting right where you are.
Why I Built This Space.
This site is for the dad (or mom or family) dreaming of a life a little slower… a little simpler… a little more real.
→ It’s for the guy googling “how to grow tomatoes” while his kid digs holes next to him.
→ It’s for the family raising chickens behind a privacy fence.
→ It’s for people who don’t want to just talk about living closer to the land — they want to do it.
Even if it’s messy. Even if it’s small. Even if it’s just one plant at a time.
Around Here You'll Find:
-
Backyard Gardening Tips
-
Raising Kids While Raising Plants
-
Journal Tools for Tracking Your Growth
-
Real Stories (Fails & Wins)
-
And hopefully... a little encouragement to just start.
Because I believe the world needs more people growing their own food.
More kids learning real skills.
More families building roots — together.
And if I can help make that easier, clearer, or even just a little more fun for you?
Well, that’s exactly why I’m here.
Welcome to my little corner of the internet.
Let’s grow something real.
Together.
