The Homestead Gift Basket

From Our Homestead to Your Home

There’s something special about a gift that has a story behind it.

Here on our little Northern Michigan homestead, we spend our days growing, harvesting, preserving, and making as much as we can with our own two hands. It’s an old-fashioned way of life that we’ve chosen to embrace in this modern world.

Throughout the growing season, we’re tending the herbs in our gardens, gathering calendula blossoms, harvesting lemon balm, mint, and nettles, and carefully drying what we’ve grown to enjoy long after the gardens have gone to sleep for the winter.

Those same herbs become part of the things we make and use in our home, from herbal teas to our handcrafted skin care products.

We grow organically, using what our homestead provides whenever possible. When we need ingredients we can’t grow or produce ourselves, we choose organic, thoughtfully sourced ingredients whenever possible.

The Homestead Gift Basket is a little collection of that way of life, gathered together to share with someone special.

What’s Tucked Inside?

2 Bars of Handmade Piggy Soap 

Made the old-fashioned way using lard, bringing a traditional homestead skill back into everyday life.

Handcrafted Healing Salve 

A blend of herbs and nourishing ingredients, carefully handcrafted in small batches.

Handcrafted Lip Balm 

Simple ingredients for everyday moisturizing, without all the unnecessary extras.

Homestead Tea 

A beautiful loose-leaf blend of lemon balm, calendula, mint, and nettles. Every herb in this blend was organically grown, harvested, and dried right here on our Northern Michigan homestead.

We leave our herbs in larger pieces rather than grinding them into fine dust, helping preserve their natural aroma and character.

Each 0.5 oz package makes approximately 15–20 servings.

A Little Old-Fashioned Goodness

Everything is nestled together in a rustic wooden berry basket, finished with natural burlap and ready to give.

Whether it’s for Christmas, a birthday, a hostess gift, or simply because you want to bless someone, this basket offers something a little different.

It’s a reminder that the old-fashioned ways still have a place in our modern world. That good things can come from the garden, the kitchen, and the work of our own hands.

And that sometimes the simplest things make the most meaningful gifts.

Handcrafted with care on our Northern Michigan homestead.
