About Us
Here at A Heritage Life things aren’t polished or perfect—it’s real. Around here you’ll find sheep in the pastures, kids happily digging in the garden, and muddy boots piled by the back door. Our family table is a mix of deep theological conversations, and the best dad jokes you’ve ever heard, often in the next breath.
We’re not out to be picture-perfect homesteaders. We’re just ordinary people with a love for the land, a respect for traditional wisdom, and a deep conviction that God isn’t just part of our lives—He is the very center of it all. Everything we do, from tending herbs to raising children, flows out of that.
What We Do
In our mercantile, you’ll find small-batch herbal remedies and home goods—things like teas, tinctures, and wood butter—that are crafted with the same care we give our own family. If it doesn’t serve us well, we won’t offer it to you. Beyond the shop, we share encouragement, recipes, and resources to help families reclaim the beauty of simple, faithful living.
Why We Do It
Because we believe home is holy ground. Because legacy is built in the ordinary—around the table, in the garden, at the sink, and in the quiet prayers no one else sees. Because the good stuff is found in walking slowly with God and passing that heritage of faith and wisdom on to the next generation.
This isn’t just a business. It’s our family’s calling. And it’s an invitation for you, too—to live full, live rooted, and find joy in the everyday grace of God.
Welcome to A Heritage Life. We’re so glad you’re here.
Meet Jen
If you asked those who know her best to describe Jenefer, they’d tell you she’s a woman who walks gently but carries deep conviction. She’s a wife, mama, herbalist, homesteader, and wholehearted encourager—someone who lives with purpose in every pot of soup simmering on the stove, every seed planted in the garden, and every quiet moment spent training hearts around her kitchen table.
Jenefer and her family live on a small patch of land nestled in the rolling hills of Middle Tennessee, where chickens roam, herbs grow wild, and the pace is beautifully unhurried. It’s here that she has cultivated A Heritage Life—a life and brand rooted in faith, family, and the belief that the sacred is often found in the simplest of things.
With a heart for reviving old ways in a modern world, Jenefer is passionate about holistic herbal living, handmade home goods, and the timeless traditions that tether us to truth. But more than that, she’s passionate about women—especially the weary, overwhelmed, stretched-thin kind—who long for peace in the chaos and purpose in their calling.
She believes in building what lasts: homes filled with love, hearts filled with Scripture, and a community of women who lift each other up with grace and grit. Through her work, she offers not just products, but a posture—a way of slowing down, drawing near to God, and finding joy in the ordinary.
Jenefer isn’t here to impress; she’s here to invite.
To the table. To the garden. To the good, hard, holy work of home.
Meet Joey
Every homestead needs a steady hand, and for A Heritage Life, that’s Joey. He’s the quiet strength behind the scenes—the one who keeps things running, holds things together, and makes it all look effortless (even when it’s not).
As a devoted husband and father, Joey is the kind of man who leads with loyalty and loves without hesitation. He’s the rock of his family, the kind of dad whose kids know they’re safe and whose wife knows she’s seen and supported. Whether it’s hauling feed, fixing fences, or tucking little ones into bed, he shows up—fully and faithfully.
Before life on the homestead, Joey served over 17 years of active duty in the U.S. military, embodying courage, commitment, and sacrifice in every step of his service. That same unwavering dedication now pours into his role at home—whether he’s building fence lines or building character in his children. We’re incredibly proud of his service, and the strength of it still shapes the way he leads and loves today.
A true outdoorsman at heart, Joey finds peace in the woods and joy in a good cast along the riverbank. When hunting season rolls around, you’ll find him in the tree line—quiet, focused, and soaking in God’s creation. Back at home, he’s our in-house butcher, grill master, handyman, and hero of the never-ending honey-do list (which he tackles with a grin and a good pair of work boots).
Joey’s hands are always working, but his heart is always present. He’s not just helping the farm function—he’s helping a dream come to life. With grit, grace, and a whole lot of humility, he lives out what it means to be kingdom-minded and family-rooted. Quite simply, A Heritage Life wouldn’t be what it is without him.
