What can you accomplish on just half an acre? Join OEFFA's Lake Effect Chapter on a tour of this compact homestead that proves that small scale doesn't mean small impact, weaving together pollinator beds, vegetable gardens, and a dedicated fruit production area, with herbs tucked in throughout the landscape. A small flock of chickens rounds out the homestead, contributing to both food production and closed-loop fertility. With 950 gallons of water storage on site for irrigation and solar-powered drip irrigation currently in development, this homestead is a working example of resilient, resource-conscious design. Visitors will see firsthand how a small land holding can adapt quickly to a changing climate, offering practical, scalable ideas for anyone looking to grow more with less space. Please plan to park across the street at the cemetery.
