Mission

Country Tough Homesteading is a hands-on learning facility located on Von Holten Ranch, which is a 4th generation family owned century farm in Mora, Missouri.  Owners, David and Brandy Von Holten, are dedicated to providing courses (taught by them and other qualified instructors) and to teach homesteading skills to improve lives and subsequent generations of individuals by becoming more self sufficient, healthy, and financially sound.
