My name is Michael Fellabaum, the founder and sole operator of Hemlock Valley Homestead LLC. Growing up in the woods and on a farm, my passion for homesteading, natural building, and permaculture techniques was nurtured from an early age.

In 2012, I started Fallen Timber Farm LLC, a small market farm. To support the farm, I worked full-time jobs and even did scrapping on the side. However, my ultimate goal was always to establish Hemlock Valley Homestead LLC, where I can build a family, live a simpler life, and help others do the same.

Along the way, I also founded Online Overload LLC, an online business that designs graphics for apparel, accessories, and more. We also provide web and email hosting, social media and e-commerce management services, and other multimedia projects.

However, my ultimate goal was always to establish Hemlock Valley Homestead LLC, where I could build a family, live a simpler life, and help others embark on their own homesteading journey.
