Our Homesteading Adventure:

Building a Self-Sufficient Lifestyle… Together

Welcome to Kowalski Mountain! We’re Philip and Barbra-Sue Kowalski. We own 68 acres in Western Kentucky where we are building an off-grid homestead. While we currently live in Florida, we travel to the homestead frequently to build the needed infrastructure. We are in the beginning process of building a log home from the timber harvested on the property. Once we meet our financial goals, we will move to the homestead to live out our homesteading dream. While we are waiting, we are cultivating our homesteading skills and preparing for full-time homesteading.

I'm so excited to receive my Norpro 619 Steam Juicer! Come along while I unbox this versatile kitchen tool! I'm making grape juice from fresh-picked muscadine grapes picked at Heather Oaks Farm. This gorgeous local farm has a variety of U-Pick crops throughout the year. The steam juicer makes juicing so easy! I'm blown away at how quick, easy, and effortless the steam juicer makes juice! Once the juice is made, it's processed in a water bath canner for use all year long!

Philip dreamed of a place where he could build a self-sufficient life. A little piece of land where he could hunt, work the land, and build a home that he could be proud of. His dream began to become a reality when he purchased the first 40 acres of Kowalski Mountain in 2016. I met Philip online in 2018. I grew up on a small, hobby farm. While I loved the outdoor lifestyle, I was stuck in my urban life far from my roots and the lifestyle I loved. Its hard to deny that Philip and I were meant for each other. We make a great team! We seem to be able to accomplish more than the average couple in record time. Since our Kentucky dream is built in short workcations, our ability to get things done is a huge asset. This is our journey, the victories, and the challenges. We hope you'll subscribe & become a part of our YouTube family! 🔔 Hit the bell to never miss a video! Thank you so much for visiting!
