The Pearl Process.
WELCOME.
We are Scott and Tracy Hess, owners of the Homestead; we are small business owners and real estate entrepreneurs. We were fortunate to purchase this rundown, neglected property during the C-19 shutdown in March 2020. Seeing the fine craftmanship, hard work of carpenters past, and immense potential, we are seeking to restore this farm to its former glory, while bringing it into modern times. We work with our hands, while connecting with skilled workers to help us along the way. We trust this renovation project, the largest we’ve ever tackled, will be a blessing to the surrounding community and to our beautiful country.
Throughout this process, my hope is you will see parallels and comparisons in your own life. We hope to take this broken down, neglected landscape and give it a new look with hard work, blood, sweat, and tears at times…. seeing the mass opportunity contained within its boundaries, as we provide the care and investment required to make it fruitful again. Scott and I are living testaments of this type of restorative work in our personal lives.
When it looks like all is lost or life has rendered hope useless, our desire is that you will see hope is never gone, despite your current condition. There is hidden pearl potential in any opportunity in life, even in chaos or crisis. Come follow along!

Strands. 2.22.22
Life has an interesting ebb and flow to it. There seems to be a strand or thread of purpose - redemption woven into the story of our lives, if we have an eye to see or ear to hear. On the surface, life can look messy, disheveled, or broken down; or, on the contrary, you may portray that you’ve got everything together, in order, and appear to be all cleaned up. We never know what one’s “house” contains, or the rooms in the house; however, until a light shines in the dark places, or our lives are opened up for scrutinizing, anything can be kept contained.
For instance, my deep connection to real estate was not always identifiable. In fact, I did not know the innate passion I have for land, housing, business, and renovations, until tragedy struck, and I was at a pivotal point in my life. I had to step into the role of leading I had not anticipated nor did I feel prepared for Turns out, I actually knew more than I thought I did. More to come….
Work on the main Farmhouse and view of one of the Cold cellars. This is a Foursquare Style Home, popular in the early 1900s. This property was home to a tenant farmer, owned by a leather maker from Philadelphia, PA. We seek to restore the farm to become a working homestead. We are replacing one window at a time, while ensuring the structure is reinforced.
