Tiffany Taylor - Teal Stone Homestead - Life Of A Homesteader.
Finding home has been the quest of every man, woman, and child sense the beginning of time. Life has a way of creating a journey before us to take in order to truly appreciate the idea of home. Throughout history we read stories of people finding their way towards home from the pioneers of America to the depths of the Indigenous people of the African jungle, it has been told through many tongues in vast cultures, over many campfires, around the table in many differently designed shelters. Home, in the physical sense, looks different to every person but the feeling is exactly the same, this is where I belong. For Tiffany Taylor, like most, the journey towards finding home has been full of twists and turns that eventually lead her to walking in the woods that held memories from her childhood. It was on this walk when home became visceral and those same trees still grow on her own homestead, the soil of her roots.
