Our Story
Bound to Be Buds started with a love of growing things and a deep appreciation for the land. Jamie and Julia Priest are passionate homesteaders living on several acres in the beautiful Ozark hills of Protem, Missouri.
What began as a personal love for gardening and self-sufficient living has grown into a community greenhouse where neighbors and friends can find locally grown vegetable plants, hand-arranged flower pots, fresh eggs, and baby chicks.
Everything we grow and raise is tended with care, with a commitment to quality and a connection to the seasons. We believe in the simple joy of getting your hands in the dirt and watching life grow.
Life on the Land
Homesteading is more than a hobby for us — it's a way of life. Our chickens roam freely, our garden beds are tended by hand, and our greenhouse is a labor of love through every season.
We're proud to be part of the Protem community and love connecting with folks who share our passion for growing food, raising animals, and living close to the earth.
