Welcome! We’re so glad you found us! We are a small family homestead located in the Penobscot Valley of North Central Maine. Our passion lies in learning the skills that allow us to be more self sufficient in a sometimes uncertain world, and maybe igniting that self sufficient spark in others along the way. We don’t claim to be experts but we are happy to get our hands dirty and figure it out! You can find us homeschooling our kids, raising small flocks of heritage breed sheep and chickens, or tending to our goats who make our line of goat’s milk soap possible. We believe the world can benefit from a revival of local sourcing, handmade goods, and family centered values. River Trip Homestead is an ever evolving work in progress, but its our heart’s work and life is good!
