Recommended by Brunette Gardens

Growing food to replace the lawn. Transforming our suburban property into a homestead. Reconnecting with the seasonal rhythms of the year. We can't all live on a farm, but we can do our bit where we're planted.

Another Midwestern gardener drawing on sustainability principles, she's one to watch.

Trees of the Field

Catholic wife, mother, farmer. Cultivating a sacramental worldview. Postcards from the farm a few times a week.

Writes with strength on the intersection of faith and gardening. While I'm not a practicing Catholic myself, I enjoy her perspective.

Slowdown Farmstead

By Tara

Cultivating authenticity in a synthetic world. Ruminations on ancestral food, healthy living, family, connection to the natural world, life, death and this radical little thing called "sovereignty".

Fellow fiftysomethings like us, this couple shows what's possible when you fully commit to a life of homesteading.
