We are Faith First Farm & Homestead. We live on 5 acres that was my mom and dad's property in the mid-Michigan area. We're working on clearing out debris and cleaning up the property. Unfortunately, it sustained a lot of damage when we were in Oklahoma for two years. We are currently working on building up a business so we can eventually bring in all of our income from our homestead. We do have our business established, along with our business website: faithfirstfarmhomestead.com.
