Welcome to The Fouled Anchor Homestead. We are glad you are visiting.

Our story began long before the farmhouse, the chickens, or the coffee. After 20 years being in the U.S. Navy, countless moves, deployments, and building a life wherever we were stationed, we were finally able to put down roots and create the place we had always dreamed about.

The Fouled Anchor Homestead is our way of bringing people together. It’s a place where families can slow down, kids can experience life on a working homestead, and neighbors can gather over a great cup of coffee. Whether you’re visiting for a farm day, meeting a friend while the kids play, or browsing the homestead goods, we hope you feel right at home.

Our homestead is filled with fresh produce, chickens, goats and plenty of opportunities to learn, explore and make memories. We believe some of life’s best moments happen outside, getting your hands dirty, feeding animals, picking fresh fruit, or sharing a conversation over coffee.

The name The Fouled Anchor is a tribute to the Navy journey that brought us here. An anchor represents strength, stability, and finishing home after years of adventure. While our next chapter looks different, those values remain at the heart of everything we do.

Thank you for being part of our journey. We can’t wait to welcome you to the homestead and create a place where community, coffee and country life come together.
