About Us

About DJ (Daclaren)

I’m a middle-aged enby (they/them), a writer and nemophilist, and a fan of Altoona Curve baseball. I also enjoy nature photography, stargazing, doing fannish things, and spending time at Starview and in Cape May County, NJ.

About Dave (Daclar)

I’m a retired printing press operator, with the full time job of turning our 4 acres into our home.  The goal is to make it as sustainable as I can.  This will be a slow process.  My interests are homesteading, solar and wind power, and self-sustainability.  My hobbies are Jeeps and model railroading.

As a couple, we’ve been married since 2000 and have a rescue dog (Bichon-Poodle mix) and a cat who was found abandoned at Starview when she was just a kitten. Dave has three grown kids and several grandkids.

About Starview Homestead

Starview Homestead is a small, 4-acre property located in south central Pennsylvania.  Established in 2007, it got its name because, on one of the first nights we spent there, we were able to see the Milky Way.  We’d never seen so many stars before in our lives! Circumstances kept us from renovating the homestead and moving there full-time until mid-2019, but we’re finally living the dream!
