SEASONAL LIVING FROM OUR PORCH TO YOURS
Fall on the Homestead
The days are getting shorter, the leaves are barely holding on, and the smell of chimney smoke hangs thick in the air on crisp mornings. Pumpkins line the porch, waiting for visitors and to become pumpkin pie shared with friends.
In the kitchen, jars line the counter, still warm from the last canning of the season. The garden grows quiet, the hens move slower, and the air hums with a peaceful kind of stillness that comes when the year begins to rest.
We gather seeds for next spring, stack firewood for the nights ahead, and take comfort in the small things. A pot of soup on the stove, wool socks by the fire, and the rhythm of slowing down.
We invite you to spend your fall on the homestead, where the land exhales and we find gratitude in every ordinary moment.
Welcome to Fallow & Blossom
Warmly, Amanda
You don’t need a big farm to live close to the land—you just need a little curiosity and a willingness to start. Fallow & Blossom Homestead is where we share what we’re learning (and unlearning) about seasonal living, homegrown food, and creating a life that feels a little more like home. No pressure, just progress.
