Hi there!

 

We’re Connie and Daniel Byers, and we’re excited to welcome you to our unbound life! In our previous lives, I was a fashion designer, and Daniel was an electrical engineer. I was born and raised in Colorado, and Daniel was born and raised in Southern California. We met while I was living in San Diego, and we lived there together for five years. 

 

Five years ago, we moved (back) to my hometown in Southwest Colorado to set down roots. Two years ago, we got married, bought a 36-acre mountaintop homestead, and dove head first into a sustainable living journey. 

 

By choosing to live a homesteading lifestyle, we’ve enriched our lives in so many ways. Gone are the days of relying on the grocery store for all of our meat and produce. Today we grow, harvest, and store most of our own produce in our garden. A majority of our meats come from hunting and fishing. Our chickens, of course, provide us with plenty of fresh eggs, and someday soon, dairy goats will arrive. 

 

On our homestead, we both cultivate and forage herbal medicinals, make all our food from scratch, and even produce our own cleaning, laundry, and skin care products. We’re excited to see you here. We hope you enjoy and learn from following our journey!
