Despite never having done anything like it before, Christa Pfleeger and her husband Eric bought a homestead in Huasna, east of Arroyo Grande. She is an in-demand commercial photographer who travels the world multiple times a year for brands like Google and Roxy, and he is an artist. The two of them lived in New York and L.A. for many years before choosing to try the homesteading life, growing their own food, harvesting their own livestock, homeschooling their kids, and, lately, searching for water on their beautiful property they call the Lonely Palm Ranch.
