Hi! I’m Merryrose!

I’ve longed for the country my whole life but Providence has me in the city. But that doesn’t keep us from homesteading to the best of our ability and living in a more simple and sustainable way. Join us on our adventures here at the Harperstead as we work to bloom where we are planted . And plant lots of sunflowers along the way. 🙂
