Here I share the heart of our journey through gardening, preserving, and cooking. You'll find a mix of personal stories, practical tips, and step-by-step guides to help you embrace old-fashioned skills and create a sustainable, fulfilling life. I’ll walk you through the art of preserving food—using methods passed down through generations, such as canning and drying—to fill your pantry with nourishing foods for the seasons ahead. You’ll also find simple, heartwarming recipes that celebrate the fruits of our garden and the food we’ve preserved, making it easy to create delicious, homemade meals from scratch. And, of course, gardening is at the core of everything we do, where I share how we grow nutrient-rich food using sustainable practices that enrich both the soil and our family’s table. Whether you're starting your own garden, learning how to preserve, or discovering new ways to cook from scratch, the blog is filled with inspiration to help you deepen your connection to the land and bring the joy of simple living into your daily routine.
