On their 23-and-a-half-acre farm in Tennessee, a homesteading mom is teaching her four kids the self-sufficiency lessons that her parents’ generation missed out on, in hopes of keeping alive the skills that served her ancestors.

High school sweethearts Cortney, 32, and her husband, Samuel Black, were raised in the Appalachian Mountains of East Tennessee. Currently, they live at Highway Homestead, a small family farm in Knoxville, Tennessee, with their four kids, aged 9, 7, 4, and 2.
