Does Any of This Sound Familiar?

  • You’ve dreamed of having an organized, productive homestead. But what you have now is a muddy, tangled mess (Dumpster fire anyone?)

  • The property you were able to afford has a lot of the structures and infrastructure you need, but everything is broken. Where do you start?

  • You’re starting from scratch. You have raw land and want to know the best way to layout your homestead for productivity, efficiency, and beauty

  • Your homestead feels like a bottomless money pit. But it’s supposed to be making you money—or at least breaking even! You need help turning this around ASAP

  • Your goats keep escaping from their fence and you're considering Goat Tacos

  • You thought animals would make things better, but now you’re just up to your knees in manure and vet bills. Send Help!

  • You’ve experienced strange events or feelings on your property that you can only describe as spiritual in nature. You didn’t ask for this, and don’t know what to do to make it stop so you and your family can just do your thing in peace

If one or more of these applies to you, you're in the right place.

I can relate because I've been there too!

Hi! I'm Tom Wylie

My wife Sarah and I have experienced all of the above and more in our quest to establish a life of sustainability and health, free from toxins, genetic manipulation, and fragile supply chains. We’ve been through:

  • The struggle of starting from scratch,

  • The overwhelm of fixing everything around us while trying to live in it at the same time,

  • The learning curve of trying to keep animals alive in hostile climates before we had the infrastructure in place to easily do so,

  • The sweat and toil of soil development and reclamation of neglected land,

  • The feelings of fear and vulnerability when we encountered invisible intruders and stumbled upon ancient beings refusing to vacate the property that we now held the deed to,

  • The sleeplessness of imposing storms and looming natural disasters,

  • The helplessness of dying animals being taken down by mysterious threats that were over our inexperienced heads and beyond the help of the veterinarian,

  • The need to be in two places at once: out making a living, and at home working the land,

  • The desperation of trying to find or grow food that doesn’t contain poison or trigger a family member’s life-threatening allergic reaction,

  • …All while trying to raise and homeschool young children and maintain a healthy marriage.

Through it all, God taught us a lot of tools and resources, honed our capacity for out-of-the-box thinking, and has also given us opportunities to help others deal with similar struggles.

Here's just one of the ways we've been able to help over 600 familes across the world:

Frequently Asked Questions:

  • What happens if I book a call, and then something comes up and I can't make it? Can I get a refund or reschedule?

    Good question. My standard policy is that a call can be cancelled and refunded if it's still 12 hours or more in the future. Just click the Cancel link in your confirmation email. If it's less than 12 hours before the call, I won't be able to refund you but we can definitely reschedule a new day and time for our call to take place! Just send me an email to let me know we need to move the call to a new time slot that works for you.

  • What if I don't like the advice you give me or don't feel I got my money's worth. Can I get a refund after the call ends?

    The short answer is no. But there's more to it, so let's talk it through: My #1 goal during our call is to get you the help you need. For some problems, this may end up being a step-by-step sequence of instructions, or it may be that I refer you to certain books, videos, or another mentor you should go learn from. Or it may be that by simply talking through your full situation in detail, and me doing a good job of listening, YOU might actually come up with the solution yourself! At the end of the day, you being empowered to move forward is what matters most to me. This is why I have you fill out an Online Application Form when you book your call. This is for me to familiarize myself with your situation and be able to think about and pray over possible solutions to suggest when we do our call. If I realize upon reading through your Application that you've got a problem that I know I cannot help you with, I will notify you that I've cancelled the call and refunded your fee 100%. But if we proceed with the call it means I think I can help you in some way, and I will prepare myself the best I can to help you out. Because of this commitment, it's only fair that I get compensated for the time and effort I invest before and during the call, and for the expertise and experience I bring to the table. If however you are still extremely unhappy with the call and ask for a refund when it's over, I'll oblige but you most likely will be banned from any future calls or classes from me. Providing you with this service is part of how my family gets fed, so please keep that in mind.

  • I don't have a webcam! Can I still book a call?

    You most likely still can. Here are the details: Most people have access to a laptop with a webcam, or even a simple smartphone will do the job. You can even buy a cheap webcam before our call that'll do the trick. Or you could consider barrowing a laptop or webcam etc. from a friend. Don't stress too much about the technology part, but please do your best to show up with functioning equipment and charged batteries (even better, keep it plugged in during the call so you don't have to worry about the battery running out!). I often have things to show you on screen during the call, so a laptop will usually be better than a phone so you will be able to see enough details. But if you're in a pinch, we can make just about anything work, so long as you can see me and my shared screen. I prefer to see your face during the call if at all possible so please do your best to make that happen. It'll help the conversation flow more naturally and we'll be able to focus on finding solutions for your homestead!

  • How long is the Consultation Call?

    2 Hours Long. If you end up not needing that much time and you get the help you need sooner, we can end the call early if you want. You have paid me for a 2-hour session though, so I'd encourage you to keep it a focused time so we can make sure you get the help you need by minimizing distraction, having a pen & paper nearby, preparing a drink and some snacks, and have someone to help watch your kids for that timeframe if needed. What I don't want is for us to feel pressed for time and therefore not be able to get to the heart of the things you're dealing with, or not have enough time to brainstorm possible solutions.

  • I see the call will be recorded. Is this really necessary?

    I understand that some people are camera shy, or have privacy concerns. Those are valid, but here I'll explain my reason for this standard policy: I have chosen to record all of these calls for my own liability protection, and so I have the option of later reviewing the footage so I can learn how to make the calls better, and to help me remember how I advised someone with a certain homestead problem. I might also use segments of our call recording to produce future instructional products or social media posts, web pages, etc. I will respect your privacy by never publicly showing your location details or anything personally identifying, unless you give me express permission to do so. Your call is primarily about helping you in the ways you need help. So our main focus will be on that. Let's get you unstuck!

  • I don't have a computer or good enough internet access. Can we just talk on the telephone?

    Unfortunately, no. In order for me to help you as best I can, a video call over the internet is really our only option. If you want to book a call, please consider borrowing a friend's laptop or prioritizing the importance of this call by getting yourself to a place with good internet connectivity. Ideas for this would be a friend's home in the city, a cafe or coffee shop (make sure you have headphones/earphones though so you can hear me well and we can be able to converse without distraction). You could even park your car near a place with free Wifi access. Fun fact: Since my family currently lives nomadically in Europe, my main office and studio space is the driver's seat of our Sprinter van! So if your best option is calling me from your car, you'll be in good company. :)

From Idaho/Missouri Homesteaders to International Sustainability Ambassadors


Tom originally became licensed as a bush pilot & aircraft mechanic for missionary work and spent 2 years training other future missionary pilot/mechanics.


Tom in the 1954 Piper Pacer he owned during flight training Tom & friend Braden practicing dropping emergency supplies when landing isn't possible


But in his early twenties, he turned his attention to developing knowledge and skills focused around sustainability and regeneration in all areas of life. 

This become the passion and calling he now shares worldwide, using both in-person instruction and online platforms.


As a teenager, Tom built his family's first chicken tractor inspired by Joel Salatin. 


Tom first built this chicken tractor when a teenager. 20+ years later he restored & transformed it into a highly versatile Chickshaw




He also helped with—and later managed—construction projects around his parents' hobby farm, including: 

  • Farm Sheds
  • Fencing
  • an Exterior Addition and Interior Apartment to their Workshop/Barn Building
  • a DIY Forced-Air Waste Oil Furnace
  • Central Compressed Air System
  • Greenhouses
  • a Luxurious Chicken Coop
  • Underground Root Cellar
  • Diesel Generator Backup Power System
  • Wood Heat, etc. 


Tom's dad, Dr. Todd Wylie, is an optometrist and vision therapy specialist known for his holistic approach and out-of-the-box thinking. He has helped thousands of families overcome problems that many other doctors had failed to fully solve. Following his father's example, Tom learned the importance of thinking holistically: considering all the factors in a given situation and employing creativity and an open mind when problem-solving. 


From a young age Tom began learning and experimenting with unique and holistic ways of managing farm resources and animals in a way that complimented the efforts of the family instead of being a constant drain and expense.


Over the years Tom got to learn from and work with several inventors, innovators, alternative energy and health pioneers, as well as antique aircraft restoration experts. Some of these amazing people are: John Bedini, Peter Lindemann, and Addison Pemberton.

Tom worked for many years building and renovating homes, which prepared him well for the many homestead property and building projects he and Sarah have taken on over the years. Just some of these projects have included: 

  • Land Clearing and Forestry, 
  • Well and Septic Systems,
  • Access Roads,
  • Electrical and Plumbing Systems,
  • Building a Shop out of Shipping Containers,
  • Temporary and Permanent Building Foundation and Roof Systems,
  • Drainage and Water Management including Snow Removal,
  • Permanent and Semi-Mobile Polytunnels,
  • Wood Stove Installation and Maintenance,
  • Workshop and Storage Building Solutions.

Ever since the age of 11 when his dad brought home a MIG welder and VHS welding instructional video, Tom has worked with metal, going on to eventually invent and publish professional plans for his own DIY off-grid log splitter, The Paul Bunyan Wood Chopper.


Tom has taught in-person classes and workshops over the years, including teaching dads and their kids how to lift and move impossibly heavy items by themselves using physics principles and old-school tools like levers, jacks, pulleys, ramps, and winches. He also taught school-age kids how to weld and work with basic electronics, and heard back about at least one student who went on in later life to pursue a career in welding. 

Ever since their marriage and first home purchase in 2013, Tom and Sarah have been focusing on crafting a lifestyle of sustainability and creating homes and properties that produce an abundance of life.

Besides the development and renovation of properties and buildings, they have had experience raising and butchering their own meat chickens and meat rabbits, and raising and managing laying hens, ducks, geese, horses, cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, livestock guardian dogs, and of course barn cats.

Tom and Sarah have majorly focused on the development of healthy garden soil using the Back-To-Eden and Ruth Stout methods of no-till gardening. They also got a lot of practice using chickens to do the majority of garden bed clearing and soil preparation work, making the final steps of the planting process a breeze.


Tom developed very simple ways of deploying and moving mobile electric fence systems and mobile shelters, water, and minerals around their 10 acres to support their cattle, sheep, goats, and chickens for intensive rotational grazing.


To solve the problem of the high cost of modern Side-By-Side farm vehicles, Tom modified a used Suzuki Sidekick into a very functional and capable (yet extremely affordable) off-road farm support vehicle. With the abundance of used vehicles worldwide and considering scrapyards as a parts supply, this option produces a very sustainable alternative to making payments on overly expensive and complicated recreational or utility vehicles.


Tom & Sarah owned Heirlooms Evermore Seed Co. from 2018-2025, taking it from the brink of failure to 5 & 6 figures before selling it to Mary Lee, their Idaho neighbor who worked with them in the company for most of those years and eventually took on full management and ownership of it. Tom & Sarah continue to be affiliates of Heirlooms Evermore.


Ever since before Tom & Sarah met, Tom was vividly aware of his need to focus on healthy family relationships. He knew that in order to raise children who would become healthy adults, he needed to focus majorly on them while they were under his roof—even if that meant taking a break from career or personal goals for the child-rearing season of his life.

Tom even wrote a book about this: More Than Pie Crumbs: The Picture Book of Priorities for Parents helps other parents understand and adopt this counter-cultural priority structure.

For without a lasting family legacy that stands the test of time, is anyone truly living sustainably?

Tom and Sarah also knew that a life free from debt is a huge part of a truly sustainable lifestyle.

With all this in mind, Tom and Sarah were faced with a decision in late 2023...
