Wagering the American Dream for the Homestead Dream

June 30, 2026

Greg and Laura Sweeton lived the American Dream: house, two kids, two successful white-collar careers, and some chickens in the backyard. Until Greg realized that this wasn't his dream, nor Laura's. So they risked everything to make a living on a farm and through a couple of small family businesses. But will it pay off? 

Tour the homestead seat of Shepherd's Crook Coffee with Greg, Laura, Anna and Isaiah as they reveal what they've learned butchering 400 meat birds a year, raising carnivorous plants, sheep, bees, cows and roasting tons and tons of beautiful coffee.
