Hello there! I’m Michelle, a gardener, urban homesteader, and lover of all things homemade. Welcome to my little corner of the internet, where I share my passion for growing food, cooking from scratch, and preserving the abundance of every season.
My Journey
What started as a few garden beds has blossomed into a small homestead filled with fresh vegetables, fruit, and herbs. There’s something deeply fulfilling about watching seeds grow into nourishing food—and then transforming that harvest into something delicious.
Over the years, I’ve fallen in love with the entire process:
- Planting & Growing: Whether it’s tomatoes, zucchini, or herbs, I’m always experimenting with new crops to grow and care for.
- Cooking & Creating: From hearty meals to simple snacks, I focus on recipes that highlight fresh, seasonal ingredients—comforting, homemade, and straight from the garden.
- Preserving the Harvest: Canning, dehydrating, fermenting—you name it, I’ve tried it! Preserving food is one of my favorite ways to ensure nothing goes to waste and enjoy the flavors of my garden all year long.
Why I Do What I Do
I believe in living simply, sustainably, and connected to the earth. Growing my own food and cooking from scratch isn’t just about self-reliance—it’s about slowing down, appreciating the process, and sharing it with others.
This blog is my way of inviting you into my homestead life, where I hope to inspire you to:
- Start your own garden, no matter how big or small.
- Try new recipes that bring out the best in fresh, seasonal produce.
- Learn how to preserve your harvest and make the most of what you grow.
Thank you for joining me on this journey! Whether you’re here to swap gardening tips, try a new recipe, or learn the art of dehydrating and canning, I’m so glad you’re here. Let’s grow, cook, and create something amazing together.
