Hello!
My name is Victoria Young! I am an accounting major, turned aesthetician who had no idea I had a thing for farm animals until our son was born in 2016 and we decided to jump into homesteading! I never thought of myself as the hay bale slinging type! I like white clothes and a 14 step skincare routine, but as it turns out, I am also completely at home milking Princess Buttercup, our mini jersey dairy cow, in poop covered overalls.
We moved our family from a nice little neighborhood in town, to 11 acres in the middle of nowhere and then to our current home in a forest on a mountain in Montana! We have a dairy cow, chickens, ducks, turkeys, and a greenhouse build in the works to extend the growing season for our garden! We want to know where our food comes from and that we can feed our family in an emergency situation. Health and self-sufficiency are our goals and we believe a whole food diet is the foundation of good health.
Healthy mind, healthy body! It has to be both! We approach health from a holistic perspective. A good place to start is with your food, but mindset, exercise, and reducing your toxic load are all necessary parts of true wellness.
I became an aesthetician(skin care specialist) because I knew that the skin is the body’s largest organ, and ingredients in the products you put on your skin absorb directly into the bloodstream. From a young age my extremely sensitive skin wouldn’t let me get away with using the “fun” scented lotions that my friends had or inexpensive foundation from the drug store, and now I am very grateful for that. But it was a real challenge finding clean, quality products that really work! Now I help people get personalized results without any sneaky harmful effects like hormone disruption. For more information or to schedule a consult, send me a DM on Instagram or an email at theyounghomestead@gmail.com.
Our lifestyle combines the wisdom of the past, with all the wonderful things about the present. The world seems to be getting worse in so many areas. But it is also getting better! Each one of us can make small changes that can ultimately change the world!
We want to share the knowledge we are gathering on our journey with like minded individuals who want to live a healthy, abundant life. You don’t have to have a farm to make healthy changes!
