Show me the stepsThe Homestead You always wanted
We use a combination of permaculture design, regenerative agriculture, holistic management, and 20 years of experience to help you craft a design and plan that's just right for you.
Help me with my plan!
Save money and time
You could spend the next 20 years learning as you go. Making mistakes that we already made and paying for lots of education.
Or
You can skip a lot of hard lessons.
Instead, invest in learning how to view your homestead through a holistic lense.
I want to skip some of the hard lessonsHere's how we do it:
Live mentoring calls twice a month
We hold you accountable to your goals, challenge you a little and teach some new ways of looking at things that will make your life on the homestead better.
Permaculture and Regenerative design
With our unique style of design, you end up with a permaculture design for your property.
Not only will you have a permaculture design but we will also craft a regenerative desgin for your livestock on your property.
A Holistic Plan
This plan will help you create benchmarks and checkpoints that you can use to make sure your decisions on the homestead are what you really want.
The plan helps bring harmony to the homestead and a new outlook to what you really want.
Why work with us?
There are plenty of great courses that will give you great knowledge. We know, we've taken them.
What we offer is a customized plan for YOUR property based on your goals, priorities, lifestyle and event budget.
The sky is the limit, and we help you figure out how to harness that, stop scrambling, and prioritize the steps you need to take to get exactly where you want to go. Just because you're a doer by nature does not mean you should do it all, and we know exactly how to do the right things to optimize your homestead. We help you manage water, develop permaculture systems, implement food forest concepts and then use time like to enhance your work.
We've done it all.
Often, we've done it wrong first.
Let us help you skip ahead. Invest in the future of your homestead, prevent the chaos of the homestead hustle and even maintain better relationships with your spouse and kids--something else we have 20 years of experience to share.
We can see the big picture, you can make it happen.
Let's Get StartedHere's what others are saying:
I prayed and cried the night before you came. I thought we'd made a mistake. That I couldn't handle it all. That after only two months in our home we had made the biggest mistake of our lives. I was wondering if it was even worth it for you to come, and spoiler alert, it was!
We feel organized and like we know the purpose of our land. We know our goals and have priorities given to each task. We look at our land and home very differently now. No, it's not exactly what I want, or even close at the moment. But it will be! And I am starting to see it now. We can't thank you enough for opening our eyes to see all that God has given us every time we step out our door.

"Having Drew out for a homestead audit helped me better understand where to prioritize my efforts in getting my homestead started. I’m confident that I avoided mistakes that would have been made if I would not have had him come out."
- Brandon
Having Drew and Lacey come out to the farm and show us theexact steps we need to take to get our farm operational was exactly the type of help we needed.
They gave us clarity and specific goals to work on.
Having/starting a farm is overwhelming and you don't really know where to begin.
Having them come out and show us how to build from the ground up saved us a ton of time and money.
Highly recommend.

"We had Lacey and Drew out to Abiding Place for a land audit. We are so excited to get started on our plan that will lead us to utilize water management. They are a wealth of information and inspiration that will eventually help us reach our ultimate goal of self sufficiency."

Lacey and Drew are amazing people to learn from and collaborate with.
I don't have a large homestead, but they gave me great ideas to implement in my space.
I only wish I had them in person.
The video call was easy and comfortable and they were patient and listened to my concerns. They have a "use what you have mentality" which I love because I am the same way. Change and growth is sometimes slow and not linear, but I have more tools now and a great resource to come back to as they gave me the video call and notes to refer back to. The Grims are a wealth of knowledge in holistic and homesteading and I am glad to learn from it.
-Courtney
Before Drew came out to our property we were having trouble materializing our ideas into a cohesive plan of attack. Afterward, we feel armed with a clear vision and order we need to tackle our goals in. He really helped us organize our thoughts into something tangible on paper but more than that helped open our minds to envisioning what our future homestead will look like.
Thanks again!

Moved to a new property in Gold Hill, NC less than a month ago..
Still being new to the homestead life, we wanted to call on experts to help us navigate setup, ideas, plans etc...
What we didn’t expect was getting the most amazing humans to come hang with us for a few hours & spit out all the goodness. If only I could suck all their brain knowledge out!
If you are new or established I HIGHLY recommend reaching out to The Schoolhouse Life with Drew Grim & Lacey Grim !!!
It was worth every penny & then some. Can’t say enough great things about them & their willingness to serve this community. Thank you a million times over!
