The Homestead  Journal

Cultivating a Life in Rhythm

Welcome to our Homestead Journal, a space where we share the ongoing story of life here at Fallow & Blossom. This is our blog, a place for honest reflections, practical insights, and heartfelt tales from the garden, the kitchen, and beyond. Here, we delve deeper into seasonal living, share our discoveries in gardening and homemaking, and celebrate the small, profound moments that make up our homestead journey.

Join us as we explore what we're learning, growing, and savoring, always in rhythm with the earth.

Sourdough Raspberry Muffins

This is my first year making immune boosting elderberry syrup and I am hooked. Making your own batch is super easy and more tasty and affordable than store-bought brands.

Immune Boosting Elderberry Syrup

Prepping For Spring By Starting Our Seeds

Therapy in Thrifting
