ABOUT US:
Happy Homestead, a place where every day is happy.

We are James, Dee & baby Ron, a family who run a smallholding on a small island of Eday, Orkney, UK. Eday is a beautiful island based off the North coast of Scotland, UK and is gnarled and battered by the strong waves and winds of the North Sea.

We are interested in permaculture, coldclimate gardening, we keep chickens, quail and ducks, enjoy fishing, hunting and making a lot of weird and interesting homebrew (James is the weird homemade wine guy!).
