Discover Country Tough Homesteading

Welcome to Country Tough Homesteading! I'm Brandy Von Holten, and together with my husband David, we own the award-winning Von Holten Ranch, recognized as Missouri's Best Ranch of 2024.

What does it mean to be country tough you ask? It's not just a mindset. Being Country Tough means you're practical, creative, strong, and self-reliant. You may not know it all, but you've got the determination to learn, grow, and master the essential skills of today's world.

Country Tough homesteading extends beyond our ranch. It's a community brimming with resources to help you and our great country not just survive but thrive!

There's important work ahead of us, so let's roll up our sleeves and get started!
