The Self-Sufficient Dream

For many people, the idea of self-sufficiency is more than just a lifestyle—it’s a passion. It’s about growing your own food, raising animals, and shaping a property that sustains your needs and values. At Adventure Trail Colony (ATC), this vision fits naturally. Here, you have the space, freedom, and community to turn that dream into reality.

Building Your Homestead at ACC

ACC offers the freedom to design your lot exactly how you want it. Whether that means building a cabin, putting up a sturdy fence, or maintaining a well-kept lawn, you can create a property that works for your needs. There’s plenty of room for gardens, greenhouses, and storage sheds, so every square foot can serve your vision.

Livestock and Fresh Food

For those who want to take the next step toward self-reliance, chickens are allowed at ACC. You can enjoy fresh eggs or raise poultry for meat, giving you a steady source of protein right in your backyard. Combined with a garden, this opens the door to a year-round food supply.

Gardening and Food Production

One of the most rewarding aspects of homesteading is producing your own vegetables, fruits, and herbs. Imagine stepping outside to pick fresh tomatoes, crisp lettuce, or fragrant basil for your dinner. Whether you prefer raised beds, in-ground planting, or greenhouse growing, the possibilities are wide open.

Photo Example: Paul’s lot features multiple raised garden beds, a greenhouse tunnel, and fruit trees along the back fence line, showing how much can be done on a single lot.

Paul’s Story – A Model Homesteader

Take Paul, for example—a resident who has turned his lot into a thriving food-producing space. He grows a huge variety of crops including beans, peppers, cucumbers, and leafy greens, and he’s even experimenting with orchard trees. Paul knows the ins and outs of gardening in this region’s soil and climate. His success is a great example of what’s possible here, and we plan to share more of his insights in a future interview.

Community and Knowledge Sharing

Homesteading doesn’t have to be a solo journey. At ACC, neighbors support one another, swapping tips, sharing surplus harvests, and even working together on larger projects. The potential for community gardens and cooperative initiatives means everyone benefits from collective knowledge and effort.

Turning the Vision into Reality

Adventure Trail Colony gives you the freedom, space, and support to live a self-sufficient life. If you’ve ever dreamed of building your own homestead—complete with a cabin, gardens, chickens, and a strong community—this is the place to make it happen.
