Their journey begins when they decide to build a homestead in North Carolina. The couple find an abandoned 30 acre farm in Chatham County with a 1900 circa (18th Century) bungalow farm house (a very traditional architecture style of the turn of the century). The home wasn't livable and was in very poor condition. The land was amazingly beautiful. Remote but centrally located in the heart of the Carolinas. They decided to give the home a fresh breath of life.

After closing on the home Charlie and Shauna run into numerous issues with contractors, home renovations, financing, and land rehabilitation. New to homesteading and knowing little about home remodeling and farming, the couple endures through the challenges and continues patiently as they build their dream Yanasa Ama Ranch (an American Bison Ranch).
