About Techstead Life

Welcome to Techstead Life – Where Tradition Meets Innovation

In the heart of Techstead Life, you'll find us, Chancy and James, a duo bound by a shared passion for the seamless integration of technology with the timeless virtues of homesteading. With years of experience in the tech industry, we've embarked on a journey to transform our lifestyle, blending the best of both worlds to create something truly unique.

Our Story

We are a tech-savvy couple who've spent our careers at the forefront of the technology sector. With Chancy's strategic prowess in IT and Operations, coupled with James' hands-on experience in software engineering, we've navigated through the complexities of the digital world with ease. Our professional paths have not only shaped our problem-solving skills but also ingrained in us a deep appreciation for innovation and efficiency.

The seed for Techstead Life was planted in March 2020 when we moved to our new home, equipped with the essentials of a budding homestead: a chicken coop, a greenhouse, and raised garden beds. As the world grappled with the challenges of the pandemic, we found solace in our little sanctuary, prompting a profound shift towards a more fulfilling lifestyle. Our homestead became not just a place of refuge but a canvas for our technological experiments.

Blending Tech with Tradition

At Techstead Life, we believe in the power of technology to enhance traditional homesteading practices. From solar-powered chicken coops to automated treat feeders crafted from Raspberry Pis, our homestead is a testament to innovation. Our latest ventures into beekeeping and hydroponics showcase our commitment to sustainable living, powered by the very technology we've spent our careers developing.

Our Vision

Our journey is more than a personal quest for self-sufficiency; it's a call to others who yearn for a similar transformation. Techstead Life is about inspiring and supporting those who wish to embark on this rewarding path. We envision a community where ideas flourish, challenges are overcome together, and the fusion of technology and homesteading creates new possibilities for all.

A Personal Note

Our journey into homesteading is a reflection of our personalities - we dive deep, we learn, and we perfect. It's this very ethos that we bring to Techstead Life. We believe that with dedication, research, and a bit of tech-savvy ingenuity, achieving self-sufficiency is within everyone's reach.

Join us as we explore the endless possibilities at the intersection of technology and homesteading. Together, let's build a future where life is not just lived but cherished in every aspect.
