hi, I’m Alex. I was born and raised in rural mid-Michigan in a farm family. I am a mom, wife, and dog mom with a passion for all things homesteading and living healthy.
my husband and I have been doing some homesteading things since we bought our first home, like canning, gardening, and raising chickens. Our passion grew while I was healing from chronic and mold illness as we were trying to decrease toxins. I started baking sourdough bread, cooking near everything from scratch, canning much more, and swapping out toxic products around our home.
this past year we raised meat birds for the first time, started most of our garden from seed, canned over 225 jars of food, and purchased two beef cows to begin raising.
I also have a small business of hand lettered and painted home decor products.
I started this blog to share our favorite recipes I have found, tips and tricks, our farm animal journey, low-toxic products on a budget, and everything homesteading.
thank you for being here!
