I’m Allison

A picture of me! I like to get my hands dirty figuratively and literally by gardening, cooking, canning, and finding more self sufficient ways to live in the urban homestead.

I’m a city girl with country roots. My grandparents farmed and now I want to connect to them and by homesteading in the suburbs. I wanted to start this blog to help connect to other homesteaders out there, share recipes, homesteading tips, my garden journey, and things I use around my house to make life a little bit easier.

If you are interested in learning more urban homestead tips like recipes, gardening, and self sufficiency tips, subscribe for free below for updates!

In a perfect world I would be able to start my official homestead on the land my family has cultivated for years and spend the days taking care of my father and grandparents on the farm. While that is unlikely, since I never want to charge for information, if you’d like to contribute to my dream of having a farm/homestead consider donating in lieu of buying a course/cookbook, using an affiliate link or if you are local purchasing plants, produce or sourdough.

Your contribution is appreciated.
