Pine Ridge Homestead
& Sanctuary
The Cottage
When we first moved here in 20212, we used it for storage and a couple times as a rental unit.
After a few years we realized we needed a farm office and space for making our herbal and botanical products.
This year (2026) the breezeway has been enclosed permanently. We experimented the last two years and used it as a greenhouse. It worked so well to start seeds for garden plants! What we don't start from seed ourselves we buy plants early in the season and ready them for planting time. We also have a mini fridge to keep extra eggs.
Before we used the breezeway for starting plants, the bedroom was the greenhouse. It worked, but boy did it create a mess and it was not very convenient...bringing in water and trying to keep the carpet clean with plastic.
Last winter I created a space in the bedroom for Energy Healing sessions; Shamanic, Certified Practitioner of Flower Essence Therapy and Stone Medicine.
When I get things a bit more organized I'll post some pictures.
This pic is of the early days 2012-14 when we first moved here. It's a cute little space with one bedroom, a full bath with shower and an efficiency kitchen with a mini gas stove.
Early April this year the breezeway was permanently closed enclosed. My son finished just in time to start seeds for the garden.
