Homesteading, homemaking, living simply.

Hi there and welcome! My name’s Chelsea Wells-Barrett. Lover of sunflowers, fur-mother of 3, and full-time homesteader, homemaker, wife, and blogger.

The Green Acre Homestead is our little slice of homestead heaven located in Homosassa Springs, Florida. My husband, Emerson, and I are in our third year of this enlightening, educational, admittedly sometimes terrifying homesteading journey. Made up of 1.25-acres, we raise rabbits, chickens, ducks, and most recently, a pig! We grow our gardens in raised beds and plant fruit trees whenever we find a good deal.

I’m so happy I can share my experiences of homesteading and homemaking with you and I’m honored to have you here on my page. My intentions are to provide insight, hope, and good information for all of my readers. My goal is to create a safe, honest space to discuss our experiences as we learn together.

Needless to say, my hands are full, my cup runneth over, and I’m thankful for the opportunity to live this life. This is what we call home.

I hope you stick around to digest our mistakes, rejoice with us in our victories, or simply find something of use to you here on The Green Acre Homestead’s website. Subscribe to our email list for a closer look at what’s happening, read our blogs, leave a comment, or drop us a line! I look forward to hearing from you! From my home to yours, happy homesteading!

Meet our pride and joys: Pete, Loretta, and Hank.
