Pioneer Mountain Homestead offers diverse services and products. Our wood division includes the sawmill and sales of rough-cut lumber and firewood. Our farm provides sales of vegetables, small fruits, honey, and eggs. We also provide boat and camper storage and off grid camping. The Homestead location is within the Appalachian Mountains of south-central Pennsylvania. We are within one mile of Shy Beaver Boat Launch at Raystown Lake.
We provide education on homesteading activities and working with wood through online content. We post written blogs and videos.

Please Note…
Visits to the property are by appointment only (with the exception of tenants with boat or camper storage leases). Our self-serve Wood Shed is always open for those wishing to purchase camp fire wood. It is located at the corner of Sharman Lane and Dogtown Road (not far from Shy Beaver Boat Launch, Lake Raystown). We continually keep the wood bins stocked; even for the winter campers! Currently, camp wood is two splits for $1.00.
"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived."
- Henry David Thoreau
