Two U.S. Army parents from Oregon have taken their lessons from the military and applied them to resourceful living on their own 12-acre farm. As self-proclaimed “all-American homesteaders,” they grow their own food, homeschool their children, and are teaching the whole family to prepare for any eventuality.
Christina Root, 37, is from “all over” but has lived in Oregon the longest. She and her Oregon-born husband, 41-year-old Noah Root, both serve in the Army and are active National Guardsmen. Their children are Everett, 11, Braeden, 8, and Mattis, 4.
