Welcome to Homegrown Handmade!

Hey there! I’m Allison, and I’m thrilled to welcome you to my corner of the internet, where I share my passion for homesteading, homeschooling, and the joy of creating delicious meals from scratch. I’m a mom with a deep love for the simple life, and I’m excited to take you along on this journey with me.

Homesteading is not just a hobby for me; it’s a way of life. My family and I are embracing the art of self-sufficiency, by learning to grow our own vegetables, raise chickens, and plant a small orchard. There’s something profoundly fulfilling about growing your own food and embracing the cycles of nature. I’ll be sharing my experiences, tips, and lessons learned along the way, as well as insights into sustainable living and the importance of reconnecting with the land.

From scratch cooking is a central part of our daily routine. There’s nothing quite like the smell of freshly baked bread or a hearty, home-cooked meal made with love. I’ll be sharing recipes, cooking tips, and the joys of using homegrown produce in our culinary creations. We’ll explore the world of preserving, fermenting, and making the most of what each season has to offer.

Homeschooling has been another incredible adventure for our family. Witnessing the wonder of learning through the eyes of our children is truly magical. I believe in nurturing their curiosity and tailoring education to their unique interests and strengths. I’ll be delving into our homeschooling journey, sharing educational resources, activity ideas, and strategies that have worked for us. Whether you’re a seasoned homeschooler or just curious about the concept, I hope you find inspiration and support here.

Life can get busy and overwhelming, but I believe that finding beauty in simplicity can lead to true abundance. Join me as I embrace the joys and challenges of balancing family life, homesteading, homeschooling, and cooking from scratch. Together, we’ll explore ways to simplify our days, be more mindful of our choices, and savor the moments that truly matter.

I’m so glad you’ve stopped by, and I hope Homegrown Handmade becomes a place of inspiration, learning, and connection for you. Don’t forget to subscribe to stay updated on the latest posts, and feel free to leave your thoughts and questions in the comments. Let’s embark on this journey together!

With gratitude,
Allison
