About Us
A San Diego Treasure
On 11 acres in the hills of Jamul, the Provencher family grows food, homeschools four kids, and builds a life around sustainability, faith, and community — one season at a time.
Our Mission
At Solid Rock Homestead, our mission is to glorify God by cultivating a life rooted in faith, stewardship, and service. We strive to inspire people to embrace a simpler, healthier, and more intentional way of living through homesteading, wholesome food, hands-on education, fitness, and practical life skills. By sharing knowledge and creating meaningful experiences, we hope to equip others to grow in confidence, strengthen their families, and build lives firmly rooted on the Solid Rock.
Our Vision
Our vision is to become a place where people reconnect with one another and the land. We envision Solid Rock Homestead as a thriving center for learning, wellness, and community — where children discover the joy of creation, adults gain practical skills, and people from all walks of life are encouraged to pursue health, wellness, education, and hard work. We desire to leave a lasting legacy by helping raise generations who are strong in body, mentally tough, wise in stewardship, and committed to serving others.
What Guides Us
These five values guide how we live, work, and grow together as a family — shaping every class we teach, every product we make, and every relationship we build along the way.
We seek to honor God in all we do, building our lives, family, and work on the firm foundation of Christ. Our decisions, relationships, and purpose are guided by biblical truth.
We care for our bodies, our land, our resources, and our gifts. We strive to care for them wisely and sustainably, believing that faithful actions create a lasting impact.
We embrace curiosity and hands-on learning, believing that every season offers opportunities to grow in knowledge, wisdom, and practical skills that can be passed to future generations.
We value whole-body wellness by encouraging nourishing food, purposeful movement, meaningful work, rest, and healthy habits that help people thrive.
We believe lives are transformed through authentic relationships. We strive to create a welcoming place where people can learn, connect, encourage one another, and experience genuine hospitality.
Whether it’s a Farm School day, homestead goods, or just following along — there’s a place for your family here.
