Homestead Hands began in Logan, Utah, to help people provide for themselves and those around them by Utah State University student Ethan Rasmussen. The company is creating a network of hard-working people who desire better health and function in their lives, community, land, and people around them. Homestead Hands operates under the belief that all have a responsibility to effectively use the resources available — but sometimes that requires a little guidance.
Which is why Ethan and his team provide on-site property evaluations for each of their clients. Each project includes soil samples, microclimate evaluations, resource identification, and property measurements with a focus on the individual nature of each property — from a backyard garden to a full-time farm. Every person and every acre is unique, and therefore each deserves special attention. Homestead Hands utilizes a network of specialists to make sure that every customer gets exactly the right service that they need. His goal is to help you be as successful as possible in your pursuit of developing greater independence, self-reliance, and security.
Ethan Rasmussen wasn't raised with an agricultural background. Then around 2013, he got his first taste of quality agricultural production and was permanently hooked. He spent four years fixing fence and branding cattle on the Arizona Strip, where he learned what it meant to be a producer focused on high-quality food products. He was inspired by the passion within those focused on providing good food for the world, and he wanted to make that a part of his life.
This drive led Ethan to attend Utah State University — the state’s first and only agricultural college — as well as start his business, Homestead Hands. It became his goal to provide a way for anyone with the desire to produce high-quality food to find success. He knew he wasn't the only one who was ready to engage in a lifestyle that focuses on self-reliance, hard work, and quality products, so he wanted to help other individuals who are trying to do the same. He is now studying agribusiness while minoring in entrepreneurship, animal science, and agronomy in order to help other first-time producers find success when they're ready.
