Hi Reader
It’s been one of those seasons around here.
We’ve been constantly bombarded with snow, and keeping up has been a full-time job—shoveling every entryway, making sure water stays fresh and unfrozen, and heading out twice a day, every day, to feed and care for the animals. It’s cold, it’s tiring… and it’s just part of the rhythm this time of year. We get ‘er done 💪❄️
Even in the middle of all that, I wanted to share a few things with you that I think you’ll really enjoy.
🌱 New Video: Choosing the Best Seeds
I just shared a new video all about how I choose seeds—what I look for, what actually matters, and how this one decision sets the tone for your entire growing season. If food freedom is important to you, this is a big one.

🥣 A Stainless Steel Crock Pot We Finally Love
After years of searching, we finally found a stainless steel crock pot that checks all the boxes—and I’ve been using it constantly. From broths to slow-cooked meals, it’s become a staple in our kitchen. If you’re trying to move away from coatings and want something durable, this has been a great find for us.
