Hello! So happy to have you here!
My family and I live on a little slice of heaven in the suburbs of Minneapolis. We didn't grow up on farms, but we love the way our little farm life grounds us and our girls.
We have a couple of dogs, a big garden, bees, and anywhere between 8 and 80 some chickens at any given time. We raise layers (who have names) and broilers (who don’t!). We also have a menagerie of wild turkeys, pheasants, deer and other critters that we watch out back all day long. |
I am blessed to have found my best friend who is on this journey along with me. He is the master gardener and puts up with my requests for what we plant and I keep up my end of the bargain by turning the fruits of his labor into delicious meals. It works for us!
Most weeks I bake bread, homemade yogurt, granola, lunch meat, roast chicken, and stock. Summer months with fresh produce from the garden are glorious. I have also dabbled a bit in pickling and making cheese but I hope to learn and do more of that in the future.
I love entertaining and cooking for those I love. I am super excited to share some of my recipes, tips, and tricks with you!
My oldest is even taking after us and has started a seedling business. She diligently starts tomato and basil plants each spring and sells them at the end of the driveway. She buys the seeds and soil with her own money and Dad even charges her for rent to ensure she earns a fair profit.
