Hey, I'm Sarah

The Heart Behind This Homestead Journey.

I spent three years at culinary school and have worked in the food industry for quite some time. My passion for food goes beyond just eating, it’s about where it comes from, how it’s grown, and the way it’s prepared. One of my main goals is to incorporate scratch-made, chemical-free foods into our diets. I’m also committed to creating a chemical-free home using DIY natural cleaning products and skincare.

Cooking, baking, preserving, and gardening for my family are activities I truly enjoy, and I love being able to share those experiences with all of you.
