About

Thank you for being here!

I’m Kelli, married to my love, Scott. We live in the rural Midwest, where we are stewarding our garden and bees. In 2018, I quit my job to be a homemaker, by then we had hoped to become pregnant, but as a step of faith, I came home to learn how to steward our home economy in the waiting.

We’ve been on a journey of localism since 2019, learning what it looks like to practically love our people and place and steward God’s creation well.

Scott is from South Africa, I met him there while I was on a missions internship with Global Mercy Missions in 2016. We talked about marriage on our first date. I went back to America 4 days later (my 3 month visa expired). Scott came over to the states 2 months later to meet my family. We got engaged a month later and were married within 6 months from when we first met.

God has been so faithful to us. I pray that here you are encouraged to know how much God loves you and your home, and your people and place!
