History Behind Provision
It all started in June of 2011. Newlyweds Aliesha and Austin, with their whole life ahead of them knew they wanted two things: a large family and a more sustainable lifestyle. They started out with a small garden of watermelons while staying with family, then intense brainstorming while living in an apartment, the discovery that baby number two was on the way, which then led to a rental house with a lot of container gardens and an assorted orchard of potted fruit trees. With a third child on the way, the King family finally found themselves in a position to purchase their first home. However, due to their budget, these first-time home buyers had to compromise resulting in a smaller piece of land. They settled for a well-built house on a small, one third of an acre lot, in a residential area. In four productive years, their yard (and house) were bursting at the seams with fruit trees, edible landscaping, and a lot of cute critters (including babies four & five.) With the news of baby number six on the way and the property already at max capacity, they reluctantly sold their first home/permaculture paradise. Tears were shed but with the sad closing of one door, another exciting door opened, thus leading to the birth of Provision Homestead. The eight years leading up to this exciting time were times of trial & error, learning & testing, developing & designing that according to Godβs Provision prepared us for this next step in lifeβs journey. It is this new journey that we would like to share with you!
