Our Story:

We're Michael & Rhonda Donadieu!

We established Simple Gifts Farmstead in 2020.  After restoring our pre-1830's farmhouse, we began work to reinvigorate the farm property for gardens, livestock, and various agritourism activities on the farmstead property.  That Journey continues!

The farm has quieted down for the winter season! 
We're looking forward to this time of rest.

While 2024 was quite an unusual year for us, we're anticipating 2025 as what we'll call a
Year of Beauty! 
Our God has been SO, SO good to us, and we are waiting, expectantly, to see how He will use Simple Gifts Farmstead in the coming year!   
We're intending to try some new planting methods with lots of raised beds and containers inside and outside the greenhouse.  We'll be planting lots of vegetables and flowers! 
But until it's time to plant, we wait.

  The chickens are all cozy in the greenhouse.  They work to clean it up and to fertilize for next season.  Our Gloucestershire Old Spot pigs went to Freezer Camp in November, and our Hereford cattle are still living their best lives on pasture!  Hopefully, we have two bred mamas, Marigold and Millie, after a visit from Casey the Bull!  Rusty, our little steer calf is doing well!

We continue to have Big Dreams and intend to use every Simple Gift God has blessed us with to point people to Jesus, grow the Farmstead, and enrich the lives of our Family, Friends, and Community!

Watch for some great things coming soon!  We're so excited to be partnering with Survival Garden Seeds, and you can check them out on our Facebook and Youtube channels (Simple, Wholesome, & Natural) to have access to a great product for an even better price!  We love being able to make connections that will be great for us AND our Friends of the Farm!
