Marana, Arizona - Homestead Linda and her family serve the greater Tucson and Phoenix Areas. Homestead Linda and Greg moved their family to Arizona in the summer of 2013. They've always been interested in bringing their food sources closer to their dinner table through some level of farming. Gardening and keeping livestock have been a part of their family for many years. Both fun and rewarding endeavors, they joined the Rent The Chicken Family to help spread this idea. In the Summer of 2023, Homestead Greg lost his cancer battle. Homestead Linda and her children continue on as they love hearing stories from people about how they discovered these same principles!
