About Little Bear Creek Homestead

​Hello there! I'm Amber Murphy, and I'm so glad you stopped by. I'm the woman behind Little Bear Creek Homestead—a wife, a mom of two, and a very happy former full-time employee who recently decided to trade the corporate hustle for a life centered right here at home.

 

​This little slice of North Carolina is where we’ve planted our roots and built a life we love. Here at the homestead, things look a little different every season. You'll find us managing a large garden, tending to our flock of chickens, and constantly trying to figure out the next practical step in our journey toward self-sufficiency.

 

​For us, the heart of this life is simple: God, family, and slowing down.

 

​My goal for this website isn't to show you a picture-perfect farm; it’s to share the practical, day-to-day ways we're learning to do more for ourselves. Whether you’re interested in canning, making a basic repair, or just want to feel more connected to the food you eat, I believe anyone can step toward self-reliance. We love sprinkling in a little of that old-fashioned Southern wisdom we grew up on to make it fun and simple.

 

​We are growing Little Bear Creek Homestead one day, one project, and one harvest at a time. It’s a journey of figuring out what we can do now with what we have.

 

​Come along for the ride—I can’t wait to learn and grow with you!
