About YGuide

YGuide is a business dedicated to helping those who desire to live a simple life, a homesteading life, with animals and crafts and gardens and herbs, tinkering with machinery, shaping beauty out of wood, and who desire to raise their children to know how to live, to do so profitably and with increase.

Our philosophy:

  • Freedom is the source of order and prosperity. Placing order above freedom brings chaos and poverty. Freedom, however, is always a little bit messy, though always good.
  • Freedom is a high regard and respect for all others in their persons and in their property.
  • Wealth is created by giving to and blessing others. We share in the increase of prosperity by continually seeking to benefit others.
  • Integrity and kindness are the foundation of trust. Trust is the foundation of increase.
  • Simplicity does not mean poverty. We enjoy the increase of the fruits of the earth, and we share with others from our abundance.
  • We take joy in the delights of strong and healthy children, warm and inviting homes, the aroma of herbs, the cackle of chickens, the richness of the soil, the smell of wood chips, a full and well-stocked pantry, and the beauty of growing things.
  • We dream and we believe in our dreams.

We reject:

  • The belief that the mindless cacaphony modern society has become is any definition of a good life.
  • The belief that living a simple life means forsaking technology or embracing poverty and lack.
