Hey Y’all!

Thanks for stopping by! We are the Ruehle family (Shane + Ashlee) and we live in Milton Florida! We ​established our homestead in late 2023 starting with our American Bresse chickens for eggs and meat and a ​large garden where we grow our fresh produce and herbs for medicinal tinctures and other products! We ​have a lot of goals and projects for the future to expand and introduce new animals, products and classes ​to help others learn.

Jesus is our king and he is the inspiration on our homestead. We started this to create a slower filled ​lifestyle that will sustain our family and community around us while growing closer to God, and to give our ​kids an understanding of living off of the land and enjoying the little things in the present moment. Salt + ​Light came from us wanting to fulfill our purpose as we feel called and share our products and knowledge ​to help others - to be the Salt + Light of the world!

We are both Marine Corps veterans. We met in Japan where we were first stationed and where we got ​married in 2016. We have two girls, three dogs, Shane has a part time job working for homeland security ​and Ashlee has her own business in Holistic fitness, nutrition + living (@ashlee.ruehle.fit).
