Homesteaders. Fighters. Outcasts. Truth-tellers.
If any of that sounds like you—
Welcome home.
I’m telling our story, whether they like it or not:

We didn't start this fight.
But I sure as hell will finish it—and document every damn step.

This isn’t about drama.
This is about rights, survival, and exposing every rotten layer of small-town politics.

I’m not everyone’s cup of tea.
I’m the shot of moonshine they didn’t ask for.
But I’m damn sure not backing down.

They wanted us quiet.
They tried every dirty trick to shut us up.
So I gave them a blog instead.

I’m not blogging for fun.
I’m documenting a war.
Local gov’t. corruption. Harassment. Lies.

Truth doesn’t always come with a smile.
Sometimes it shows up pissed off and ready to fight.
I write that kind of truth.

If you’re tired of fake southern hospitality and real backdoor corruption, pull up a damn chair.
My blog tells the part they don’t want you to hear.

This is what happens when small-town power trips meet people who refuse to roll over.
I’m naming names.
I’m keeping receipts.

I’m not here to sugarcoat.
We’ve been lied about, harassed, and damn near ruined.
But I’m still standing—and I’m writing it all down.

Hi there! I’m Amber — a self-reliant homesteader, blacksmith, and community builder living off-grid in the Ozarks. My husband and I run a hands-on homestead where we teach traditional skills, care for livestock, grow our own food, and help others do the same, and well, fight to keep it all!!!

I’ll be sharing the raw, unfiltered truth about what we’re going through — from building our homestead to standing our ground against those trying to tear it down. If you’ve ever felt like the odds were stacked against you, I hope you’ll find a piece of yourself here. Even if not comedy lies here.

We run a mobile forge company here in arkansas, have an off grid intentionaly community we are starting and living a life that I couldn't have ever imagined, accept the chaos, brought on by a bunch of people we don't even know. Check it all out in my blog.
