Welcome to my blog. I’m Stephanie, follow my journey as I create my homestead in rural Wales on around half an acre. Here I grow year round, and teach gardening, homesteading and food courses.

From the garden to the kitchen, explore the categories below to follow the rhythms of life on the homestead.
