Once upon a time … a girl who grew up reading about life on the frontier and old-fashioned ways of living fell in love with a boy who loved reading about people bringing the old-fashioned ways into modern living. Together, they decided to build a life deeply rooted to the ground – literally – as they grew a garden and slowly added to the homestead of their dreams.

This is the story of our garden experiments, growing dreams, and a good many of the books as well.
