Around here, we do things a little differently.
We garden barefoot.
We bake bread with wild starter and wild kids at our feet.
We believe food, family, and a little grit are the best kind of medicine.
This space is for the ones who crave a life that’s a little slower, a little louder, and a whole lot more real.
If you’ve ever felt like you didn’t quite fit the perfect mold—
Welcome home. You belong here.
Come for the sourdough and garden tips.
Stay for the kindred spirits who get it.
Let's be real—Modern life isn’t made for slow, intentional living.
It’s Fast. Loud. Overwhelming.
And if you’ve ever felt like you’re barely keeping up...that’s not on you.
You were made for something different. For hands in the soil. For food that’s grown, not bought. For a rhythm that’s set by you, not by a screen. It’s easy to forget what matters when the world keeps shouting.
But around here, we’re quieting the noise. We’re getting back to what’s real. Messy. Simple. Wild. And honestly? Way more fulfilling than living by someone else’s rules.
Hi! I'm Jill.
Our family has been on a journey of living in a more connected way as we grow and prepare our own foods. Mindful living and a sustainable lifestyle is all about pausing, knowing the world around us, and aligning to holistic practices that serve our family and the earth. From a girl who worked 3 jobs at 16, to now owning my own business, I understand the struggle to create work that is purposeful and provides for a family. These days, I’m inviting you on the journey with me. None of us are in this alone!
A membership made for real life
Full time homesteading isn’t for everyone. In fact, most of us don’t have the time or resources for that. Our goal is to equip you with knowledge and skills so that, at the best capacity for your home, you can live more intentionally and connected to the process of growing and preparing your food. Join us as we each discover the best practices to live more sustainably!

★★★★★My first focaccia! This turned out so amazing, I’m in love with it! @whisperingwillowfrm @mindfulfarmerarkansas taught me how to refresh #otis and I’m loving making #sourdoughbread Tomorrow I’m going to use my discard to make sourdough chocolate chip cookies. #wishmeluck
@mcdeane
★★★★★This process has been very new to me. Ive questioned everything even with step by step instructions from @whisperingwillowfrm and @mindfulfarmerarkansas. But I kept going and I just pulled my first fresh loaf of sourdough bread out of the oven. It smells glorious and I feel incredibly accomplished!

@oldtownbotanical
★★★★★Super excited to use my new garden tool belt and be able to support another small farmer@whisperingwillowfrm.
@mercyxilonen
★★★★★Harvests are becoming a daily ritual again... and I'm back in my element. I love that I've come to rely on the knowledge that the first strawberries arrive in mid-May, followed by peonies around memorial weekend (they opened today!), followed by cherries in the orchard in the first week of June. By the 4th of July our raspberries and blackberries should be ready. And so on. I feel most connected to mv land this time of ear as I've come to learn its patterns. For me, it reinforces the practice of permaculture and growing perennial crops that I can rely on year after year.
I'm also loving my new leather tool holster too from @whisperingwillowfrm! Perfect for my phone, knife and a chapstick.

★★★★★I can’t wait to get through this weird weather the next couple days in Colorado and start brewing compost tea from these amazing tea bombs from @whisperingwillowfrm- packed full of nutrients and easy to use, this liquid gold be ready by next weekend! Hopefully the snow will melt by then! 😂 my flowers, herbs & veggies in our personal gardens will thank me.
