Meet Terra Hill Farm’s 21st Century Pioneers

Welcome to Terra Hill Farm-where modern homesteading meets real-life learning. Nestled in rural central Texas, we live just two steps from off-grid and are building a resilient, faith-rooted, hands-on life powered by the sun and nourished by the soil.

We’re Michael and Glenna-two former city professionals who traded traffic and convenience for clean air, clean water, homegrown food, and purpose-driven work. Through DIY solar, off-grid  systems, hydroponics, gardening, and homestead experiments, we share what actually works – and what doesn’t – so others can learn alongside us.

At Terra Hill Farm, we:

• Design and build practical DIY solar and off-grid energy systems
• Grow food using hydroponics, raised beds, and traditional methods
• Actively steward our land and wildlife habitat
• Practice sustainable, self-sufficient living rooted in permaculture principles
• Teach and encourage others to build confidence, skills, and resilience – right where they are. 

Life on the farm wouldn’t be the same without of four-legged crew. Remmie, our seasoned Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, proudly serves as HOFS, Head of Farm Security – alert, loyal, and always on duty. Brownie, the newest puppy on the farm, is learning the ropes, finding mischief, and reminding us daily that joy is an essential part of the journey. 

Whether you’re curious about going off-grid, growing food in small spaces, teaching through hands-on learning, or simply dreaming of a more intentional life, we’re glad you’re here!

We invite you to walk with us, learn from our successes and mistakes, and discover how resilient living can begin right in your own backyard.
