Hello I'm Annie and welcome to our blog!

I was raised in an old farmhouse in the country and taught by three generations of women in my family to cook from scratch, can and preserve food, nurture plants to grow, craft with my hands, and live a simple, meaningful life. Now I'm teaching my own children these skills on our little homestead in Montana. I am a Master Gardener and a Master Naturalist and love helping others learn. I'm sharing these vintage skills here so you too can live a simple, more connected homemade life- one canning jar at a time!
