Elm Mott, Texas—Homestead Heritage, a faith-based community visited by a quarter of a million people annually, and known for its commitment to agrarian living, Christian values, and fostering a supportive environment for wholesome family life, must respond to the defamatory statements published by Taste of Country on August 29, 2024, in the article titled “Rory Feek’s Daughters Are Pursuing Legal Action Against Him—Here’s Why.” This article contains multiple falsehoods that misrepresent our community and the values we uphold.
In its 51-year history, Homestead Heritage has consistently acted with integrity and in accordance with the law. When isolated incidents of misconduct occurred, our leadership took immediate and appropriate action, including reporting to law enforcement. McLennan County authorities have confirmed our cooperation in these matters.
Unfortunately, Taste of Country chose to publish unsubstantiated claims without contacting us for comment. Such actions serve only to mislead the public and harm innocent individuals. We remain committed to transparency, truth, and the well-being of our community.
We urge Taste of Country to retract these defamatory statements and issue a public apology to our community. As always, we trust that responsible journalism will ultimately prevail.
