About Us

In 2017, after many years in the electronic recycling industry, we decided it was time to retire. The stress and unhealthy habits of city life were taking a toll on our well-being. During a family camping trip to the Ozarks, we fell in love with the area and its serene beauty. God blessed us in finding a property for sale and we signed contracts before returning home to Minneapolis.

Since establishing ourselves in the Ozarks, we've developed a deep passion for animal husbandry, particularly goats, and for growing our own food. This journey has inspired us to share our knowledge and produce with others.

At Herrera Homestead, our mission is to educate local farmers and consumers on the benefits of wild and cultivated mushrooms. For us, it's not about the money; it's about fostering a healthier, more sustainable way of life for our community.
