homebred
Raised at home
Homebred describes something raised or produced at home rather than obtained elsewhere.
A homebred horse was born and trained on the owner's property.
The word extends to people whose manners or ideas seem unsophisticated or provincial—formed locally rather than shaped by wider experience: His homebred notions didn't survive contact with the city.
As a noun, a homebred is an animal bred domestically.
