Island Girl Homestead

Creating products that will last forever while keeping the unwanted rope out of the ocean and landfills🦞🌊

Why Choose Us?

I strive to be good to the earth and encourage others as well which is why I use eco friendly packing materials! If you can’t compost it or burn it you won’t see me packing with it! 

I keep thousands of feet of rope from a landfill each year by making my products.  Rope that is not used goes into landfills or I have seen lobstermen even throw over what they don’t want anymore. 

The baskets are AWESOME!!! You are very talented!  Thank you VERY much!!!

About Us

Hannah Merrill

Owner

Hi! My name is Hannah, I am 17 years old.

I started this small business almost 7 years ago as a way to support my passion for horses. From a young age I was in love with horses, I dreamed of having my own horse some day. So I started my mission to earn the money to support a horse of my own. When I was younger I would have tomato stands on the weekends and do anything I could to make money for my future horse. With access to lobster rope, my mom came up with the idea for my business. I have always wanted to make the planet a better place, each year I keep thousands of feet of rope from ending up in a land fill.

I now have my own horse and rescue pony that I support on my own with what I make from running this business as well as working in the horse industry, as a barn hand and an upcoming farrier. It is my dream to move out west and have a large cattle ranch as well as a training business.  With every order I get closer and closer to my next goal! Thank you for your support! 

Location

Sometimes the GPS takes people around the cove a couple times! You go down big hill, around the guardrail, up the hill and you will find me at the top with the chickens running around. Be careful, sometimes they wander in the road🤦‍♀️
