Meet Autumn
Hey there! I'm Autumn, and I'll teach you traditional skills that will help you nurture your home and family, no matter where you live.
I'm a wife and mama who loves farmhouse cottage kitchens, old fashioned recipes and traditional cooking skills. I also enjoy growing an organic vegetable garden, and use lots of different food preserving methods to put food by!
I've been battling Lyme disease for over a decade, and that's why I returned to traditional skills and a simple life in the country. I want to nourish my little family to the best of my ability.
Making things yourself is harder than grabbing stuff at the grocery store, but there's real value in knowing exactly what you're dealing with. And that's what I'm about!

My Living Situation
My husband (aka my man) and I moved to the countryside in 2018. We spent a year developing raw land and built a little cottage for our family.
Living on 2.84 acres, we have space for large gardens, a tiny root cellar, honeybees, ducks, chickens and spring pigs (if we want them!).
Everyone thinks I'm an avid homesteader because I cook from scratch, grow organic gardens and do lots of canning, fermenting and preserving.
But I'm not here for homesteading.
What I Want from Life
I want the knowledge and skills of a 1950's farmer's wife, but I don't need the farm. I just want to live a simple country life where I can choose activities that suit our family, dietary needs and my energy levels!
I don't do all the things that a stereotypical homesteader does, and you won't find me always pushing for more. Sometimes less is more. My goal in life is to focus on what matters most.
Don't worry. You don't need a farm or homestead to learn the things I teach. These traditional skills will meet you right where you're at!
