OUR GUEST

Axe & Root Homestead is a six-acre homestead based in Whitehouse Station, New Jersey. What started as a family initiative to grow their own produce has turned into a small farm with ducks and geese for eggs, two honeybee hives, draft horses, vegetable plots, and an orchard.

Angela and her family started growing their own food on a .67-acre plot and later moved to a six-acre historic farm built-in 1775. They are as self-sustaining as possible and craft many homegrown or home-created items, such as soap! It is their goal to pass these skills and values onto their children as they strive for a simpler lifestyle.
