HI! WE'RE JAMIE AND REX!

welcome to Arda Acres

We’re first generation homesteaders working in lockstep with Mother Nature and our land to provide safety and security for our family and community.

Our purpose is to bridge the great divide that exists between the everyday person and their connection to self-sufficiency and sovereignty.

October marks 1 year at Arda Acres for us. And wha

October marks 1 year at Arda Acres for us. And what a year it’s been!

I can’t even completely list everything we’ve learned in one year. It both seems like we started yesterday while also feeling like it’s been 10 years.

Nothing has been a better teacher than just getting our hands dirty and doing the work ourselves. No book or YouTube video comes close to providing the same knowledge and experience.

And there’s still so much to learn! Sometimes it’s exhausting to think about but we look forward to many more years of learning and doing.

I’ve compiled a few lessons we’ve learned this first year. Drop a comment below ⬇️ if you’d like the link to read them!

Even 10 years ago, I would have rolled my eyes and ignored someone talking about Bitcoin.

But the more I grew up and the blinders came off to the mayhem and debasement of our currency, the more I looked for a way out.

The hours of learning spent on Bitcoin are innumerable and I still have so much to learn.

But what I do know is the US dollar is failing and cannot be fixed at this point. We cannot vote ourselves out of an empire in decline.

Bitcoin is our ability to opt out.

It’s digital gold. The currency of the future.

If you’d like to read my post expounding on the 6 reasons above (it’s short, I promise 😉), drop a comment below. ⬇️

Livestock guardian dogs are a whole different kind

Livestock guardian dogs are a whole different kind of animal.

Not pets, but partners.

As cuddly and loving as she is, her warning bark will catch you off guard.

Definitely don’t surprise her at night unless you want to be surprised yourself with what ferocity comes from this loving pup.

Learning about her and LGDs has been awe inspiring with their genetics and natural instincts bred over thousands of years.

She is one impressive dog.

Pesto is just built different. My mini fainters

Pesto is just built different.

My mini fainters have learned not to jump otherwise they risk freezing up and falling. They’re intelligent goats.

But Pesto? He is not bound by the mortal coil that is a genetic mutation that causes his muscles to freeze up.

He is boundless. Untethered. And unbothered.

Monty is definitely in charge around here.

King of all he sees.

Our best mouser who also helps to keep his food costs low.

A good cat is worth their weight in gold.

He’s currently on a 3 day streak of catching rodents outside for an extra meal.
