Hey, friends!
It’s been 2 years since I started this adventure and there are so many new faces here that I wanted to reintroduce myself! My name is Lauren Combellick and my husband, Colter, and I have three sweet boys that we are raising on our 10 acre homestead near Starbuck, MN.
I have been gardening and baking since I was a kid, but homesteading has really become a huge part of my life in the last several years. It sort of started as a hobby and a way to do things ourselves to cut costs, but it blossomed into a lifestyle that I truly enjoy and am excited to teach my boys about. Today, our family focuses on gardening, food preservation, and raising chickens for both farm fresh eggs and meat. I also have become passionate about cooking/baking from scratch and reducing the toxins in our home.
I see myself as a lifelong learner. Homesteading is a broad category with lots of different areas to dive into. It’s impossible to always do everything yourself, but I love learning new things from others and I’d love to share the knowledge I’ve gained as well.
I am currently registered as a Cottage Food Producer in Minnesota and will be posting seasonal offerings on this page as they become available. This is something I’m hoping to continue to expand moving forward. We will also be present at local farmers markets again this summer.
We have lots of exciting plans for this business for the future, including opening a farm store. More to come on that later, but I wanted to introduce ourselves to you again as we look forward to a busy summer.
If you have questions or would like to order whole chickens, eggs or homemade items, you can reach out to me on facebook, Instagram or through email at [email protected].
My knowledge, skills, and passion for this are ever growing. Welcome to Evergrow Homestead.
