The Larson’s Urban Homestead

The Larson’s Urban Homestead Our homestead journey began in 2004 on Hammond Ave, raising our three daughters alongside the land. In 2021, we added chickens to the family.

We share 20+ years of local passion through photography, handmade creations, and farm-fresh eggs.

What a whirlwind of a week! We had planned to take some time off for a final end-of-summer camping trip, but the universe clearly had other plans for us.Meet Pumpkin and Spice! 🐱🍂 They are two sweet community cats looking for a permanent home base (like a barn, farm, or garage). We agreed to foster them in the meantime, and they are honestly the friendliest "barn cats" I’ve ever met! They were just spayed and vetted over a week ago and are already getting along great with our chickens—though Charles is still a little unsure about his new roommates.It was a week of big changes and full hearts as we officially started our empty nester journey last week. We kept busy refreshing the house, celebrating Julie’s birthday, pet sitting, hosting family movie night, and squeezing in some fun local adventures.Sadly, we also had to say goodbye to Happy, our sweet chicken. Julie had been treating and caring for her ever since she suffered a suspected heat stroke during June's heatwave and poor air quality days. We will miss her dearly.After such a busy week, we are ready to slow down. If you want to join us for some end-of-summer relaxation, watch the animals play, and sip on some cold water, tea, or coffee, please reach out! Our porch is always open. ☀️☕️

Meet Pumpkin and Spice! They are our foster cats. These two are marked as Barn/Garage cats but they are extremely friendly. Critter Harbor has been helping them and over 60 other cats find their forever homes. If you are interested in helping them please reach out to me or Critter Harbor for more information.

What a perfect way to spend my cool morning. Hanging out with one of my little people, chickens and drinking some cold brew coffee while visiting our garden.

Big updates at The Larson’s Urban Homestead! 🌿🐓

* We are officially blending our love for urban homesteading, hand-made crafts, childcare roots, and family photography into one cozy space!

What We Offer on Hammond Ave

* Portraits with Personality: Fresh air, backyard vibes, and patient photography for kids, families, grads, and pets (with a background in preschool teaching, I know exactly how to make kids laugh!).
* Homestead Creations: Handcrafted Cricut designs, cozy crochet items, and fresh farm-fresh eggs from our 18 sweet chickens.
* A Growing Space: Follow along as we learn, garden, grow our own food, and build a community space for local children and families.

🌟 Portfolio Building Special!

* To celebrate this launch, I am looking for just 5 local families for a $100 portfolio-building photoshoot (includes 5 fully edited digital images).
* Drop a comment or send a DM to book your spot and come visit the chickens!

Today was a good day. I did a small batch of cherry picking and collected our eggs. I see we have some new layers.
Anyone know what I’m planning to make tomorrow with these ingredients? Hint it will be gluten free.

Our crew is trying to beat the heat. Lots of shade, watering the soil making mud areas, spraying off their coop with the water hose and opening every door window and nest boxes to try and get the air moving.
They don’t like their feet wet in the pool or ice floating around.
We hope everyone is able to beat the heat tomorrow too.
