Deep Dive
Piney Grove Homestead: Building a Northwest Florida Mini Farm
Main focus
Piney Grove Homestead chronicles Brad and Deb’s transformation of 20 acres in Northwest Florida into a working mini farm. Pasture work, a stocked pond, mini Highland cows and a donkey give the country-living story a tangible, day-to-day center.
Why it matters
Considering a small-farm project or simply curious about the pace of rural development? Piney Grove Homestead places long-term land improvement alongside the everyday demands of caring for pastures, animals and water, making the journey easy to follow over time.
Style
A personal, on-the-ground diary anchors practical homestead projects in the changing life of the property. Brad and Deb connect land work with animal keeping and country routines, favoring a lived-in journey over a detached how-to format.
Consistency
Eight years of development provide a clear throughline, from early property transformation to full-time homestead work after leaving corporate life in 2025. The broad project range remains rooted in one evolving place.
- Homestead development
- Pasture and land projects
- Mini Highland cow care
- Mini donkey keeping
- Pond and fish stocking
- Country-living routines
Treat land, pond, livestock and equipment projects as context rather than universal instruction; local conditions, permits, current manuals and qualified help matter when work carries higher risk.
