Homestead Living Has Acquired Homestead Documentary

Tuesday, February 11, 2025 – Homestead Living made an official announcement this month of their acquisition of Homestead Documentary and all of its assets, marking a significant step in advancing their stated mission: to inspire healthy and sustainable lives.

About Homestead Documentary: Launched in 2021 by Melissa K. Norris and Carrie Wilson, Homestead Documentary has, over its first two seasons, told the real stories of homesteaders throughout the United States. Its mission is to showcase modern homesteading in its most authentic form, inspiring viewers in their own journey toward self-sufficiency and a sustainable life. With the first two seasons published – now available at homesteaddocumentary.com – the ongoing documentary project has garnered a sizable following for its real-life, unscripted, inspiring narratives.

Quotes from key figures:

Troy Klongerbo, General Manager, Homestead Living: “We are extremely excited to bring Homestead Documentary into our ecosystem. Our vision is to build a media company that can truly serve homesteaders by not only providing practical educational content, but also offer inspirational media that fuels what can often be a challenging journey.”

Melissa K. Norris, Co-Creator of Homestead Documentary: “Homestead Documentary is full of stories of normal people who took their dreams and passions for sustainability seriously and documented it for others to consume. We’re thrilled to see this project continue to grow under Homestead Living’s stewardship.”

Homestead Living’s Intent: The acquisition signifies Homestead Living’s commitment to nurturing media in all formats that resonates with those seeking a simpler, more self-reliant lifestyle – the homesteading life. 

The company plans to support and bring future seasons of the documentary to homesteaders, ensuring continuous access to this unique blend of inspiration, practical knowledge, and the wisdom of our ancestors.
