Starting a homestead without water
Hello! I’m Jess Ahola. I live on 5 acres in Rainier, Oregon with my husband Anthony and our young son Eivin. As an aspiring homesteader I knew there would be challenges in many areas, but learning how to homestead on a property with no fresh water was a big challenge we were not expecting! While we continue to figure out water, homesteading and life in general, I’m enjoying the progress we make and excited to share how our situation evolves and what we learn in the process.
I’m sorry to say that I have not kept up on adding new blog posts to this site. The good new is…to answer all the open questions and share all the raw, vulnerable details about what has transpired along the way, I’m writing a BOOK! If you’d like to receive updates via email about our current situation, please subscribe to my list and I’ll include you on some sneak peak, unedited chapters of the book also. Looking forward to getting to know you and thank you for your interest in our story!
