Gubba is a 5th generation homesteader. Her forebears eked out a grim existence on the windswept, barren prairies, where they established the largest sheep and cattle operations in their regions.

In 2021, she left city life for the country, and began her own homesteading journey.

On her farm, she grows vegetables in the garden, nurtures animals in the pastures, hand-pumps water from the well, and warms her house with wood from a nearby forest. Everything is pesticide free.
