Hey ya'll, I'm Carole.

I’m SO glad you’re here!

I am a believer, wife, twin mama,  United States Navy veteran, patisserie arts student, and high-desert gardener living on the outskirts of Santa Fe, NM.

I’ve started this blog to share my family's stories as we work toward building a kitchen garden to feed ourselves, close friends, and perhaps one day, our local community!

This blog has been a long time coming.

If you know me, you know that I've talked about writing for years!

So today, as we head into colder months and activities on the homestead are beginning to wind down, I can feel it in my bones, it's time to begin!

On this website, you will find many things including my family’s favorite recipes, personal writings from the homestead, and for my local friends: a place to order a baked good or two!

Many of you have likely heard the story of how we were drawn to homesteading. For others, it may be your first time! For those in the latter category, you can read more about our story here!
