The Hougies

Welcome to the Hougies - where we're half hillbilly, half bougie, and all heart! 

We're Gina and Michael, building our dream homestead one project at a time while remodeling our property in beautiful East Tennessee. Along for the adventure are our daughter Olivia, our sons Logan and Nico, our flock of chickens, and our four dogs - Roxy the German Shepherd, Cash the Border Collie, Beau the Standard Poodle, and Standley the Toy Poodle.

From DIY projects and home renovations to country living, family adventures, and the occasional chaos that comes with it all, you'll get to experience the real journey with us. We're also working toward adding goats and alpacas to the farm, so there's always something exciting on the horizon.

If you enjoy homesteading, country life, family fun, and seeing the highs and lows and laughs (and tears) of building a dream from the ground up, you've found your people.
