PHOEBE ALWINE Reporter

Pottery spinning, yarn weaving, wood chippings, metal tools and the smell of baked goods are some of the treasures at Homestead Heritage, a community approximately 20 minutes away from Baylor. Homestead prides itself on being an intentional Christian community valuing sustainability, agriculture, self-sufficiency and craftsmanship. Seated on 510 acres and consisting of a craft village, faming land, pastures and housing, the close-knit community is home to around 1,000 members. Homestead Heritage’s website states that while not affiliated with a larger organization, it shares beliefs with many Christian groups such as Baptist, Mennonites and Methodists. “We are nondenominational, but our roots do go back to Anabaptist roots,” Hailey Scarbrough, a potter at Homestead, said. The community stresses the importance of bringing the Bible into everyday activities. The website also shares that members believe in living a simplistic life, which is a main reason for their agrarian and craftsmanship lifestyle. “Faith has to do with everything I do and the kind of person I’m hoping to be,” Angela Annunziato, a gristmill worker at the Homestead, said. Their faith and beliefs lead the members of the community to utilize craftsmanship as one of the main resources to life at the Homestead. Brooke Giacin | Multimedia Journalist Their skills include pottery, blacksmithing, basket weaving, carpentry, the gristmill, yarn FIRE UP IMAGINATION One of the classes offered at the Homestead to local Wacoans and other non-community members is blacksmithing. weaving and agricultural work. “Products made from scratch are a lot better said. “It’s high quality stuff; organic, non-GMO, enables the Waco community to learn the ways together,” Trevino said. “I think the biggest quality than factory-made products, and it’s no pesticides.
