We're the Woodworths, Woody, Megan, Wade, & a baby on the way! Our family is building an off grid homestead in the Ozark mountains. Our journey started by remodeling the existing hunting cabin, which was really a glorified shed.

Next up: clearing land for off grid cabin # 2, a 20x30 cabin with exterior insulation, 2 beds, 1 bath, and enough space for us to kickstart our homestead as our little family grows.

Our 2nd baby is due in October of 2024, and we hope to have the cabin dried in before it comes.


We lamented for months about buying this excavator, but feel that it's the best way to make big progress here on our mountainous, heavily overgrown, and unmanaged hunting property.
