About Matt and Caycee
We are Matt & Caycee Fitton – a young married couple and parents to their deeply loved daughter.
Our greatest shared joy as a couple is in community, connection and living in harmony with each other and nature.
The road that led us to this place and opening Homestead North is winding, interesting and filled with dreams realized such as creating and then being married right here in the awe-inspiring Oak Amphitheater!
The true beauty of our story, though, is that it does not end here when we arrive at Rosewood.
In fact, it has only just begun!
We invite you to join us as we continue to learn, to grow, and to build community, diving deeper into a harmonious connection with Mother Nature.
