🌿 “I gained another level of trust in the good and perfect design of the Creator.”
— RuthAnn Zimmerman, HOA Magazine

In the latest issue of the Homesteaders of America Magazine, RuthAnn shares the beauty, challenges, and life-giving purpose behind rotational grazing—and how the daily work of stewarding animals and land can shape not only your soil, but your soul.

This is more than pasture management—it’s generational vision, family discipleship, and a return to right relationship with creation.
