A New Chapter: From Off the Beaten Path to Hideaway Homestead Ranch

Change is a natural part of growth — and after some time of building our off-grid life and sharing that journey online, we’re excited to announce a big step forward: we’ve rebranded from Off the Beaten Path with Andrew and Ashley to Hideaway Homestead Ranch.

This new name reflects where we’re headed, both on the land and online.

Why the Change?

When we started Off the Beaten Path, it was about our move from city life to the rugged, open land of northern Arizona. It captured the adventure, the learning curve, and the pure discovery of starting from scratch. But as our homestead evolved — from a half built cabin and a few gallons of water to a nice camper and solar system and future ranch — the old name no longer told the whole story.

Hideaway Homestead Ranch better represents what this place is going to become:

• A homestead where we’re building a self-sufficient life, powered by our own hands.

• A ranch with plans for regenerative agriculture, animals, and future farming systems.

• A hideaway — our refuge from the noise of modern life, and hopefully an inspiration for others to find their own.

It’s more than a new logo; it’s a reflection of how far we’ve come and where we’re headed next.

The New Look and Website

With the new name comes a new home online: HideawayHomesteadRanch.com.

Here you’ll find:

• Our latest YouTube videos embedded right alongside detailed blog posts.

• A new Hideaway Collection of branded merch — hoodies, mugs, and gear with our embroidered logo.

• Updates on our projects, from solar power and water systems to ranch development.

The website brings everything we do under one roof — video, writing, and products — all centered around the mission of living simply, sustainably, and intentionally.

What Stays the Same

Our story hasn’t changed — just the way we tell it. We’re still the same two people learning, building, and adapting as we go. The projects, the hard work, and the honest look at off-grid life all remain at the heart of what we share.

We’re just building something bigger now, something that can grow into the future.

Looking Ahead

This rebrand marks the beginning of a new era for us — one focused on expanding the ranch, improving our systems, and documenting the journey with a clearer vision.

Whether you’ve followed us from the start or just found us today, welcome to Hideaway Homestead Ranch. We’re excited for what’s next and grateful to have you along for the ride.
