Maplet Homestead

Maplet Homestead is the story of Orion & Bethany Maple — CFNI graduates and parents of 7 (8 with angel baby) — building a real life on 0.8 acres in Decatur, Texas.

The name comes from our family. Maple is our last name, and when Bethany started having babies she called them her Maplets — like piglets, or leaflets on a tree. When we started the homestead, it was the only name that made sense. Look closely at the ‘t’ in Maplet and you’ll notice it’s shaped like a cross — a quiet nod to the faith that anchors everything we do.
