After living on the edge of our already small town for almost three years, Brittany and Travis decided it was time to get out to the country with their two kids. They found a property with a bigger house four acres, and a pond.

Well, half a pond. It split the property line, but half a pond is better than no pond.

In 2020, they decided it was past time for Brittany to quit her day job and to homeschool the kids. The state of Kentucky requires you to give your homeschool a name. Brittany instantly came up with it: Half A Pond Homeschool.

So of course, the homestead name was easy.

We try to use our property and our home to help provide for some of our family’s needs. Since coming to the property, we’ve added multiple gardens, rabbits, quail and chickens, plus annual and perennial flowers, trees and shrubs.

We’ve added HalfAPond.com to help us share our homestead products to our friends outside of Hancock County  – And we hope to a lot more new friends along the way.
