Welcome to The Farm! Our family has lived a vegetarian/ vegan lifestyle for a good long time...and even during times {like when I was pregnant} when we "fell off the wagon", so to speak, we have always had a sort of passion for food, cooking + healthy, simple living.
For this small town mama, no day is too uneventful for donning red lipstick + a fabulous set of vintage style victory rolls...however I'm also not opposed to getting my short red nails a little dirty either! After a good long time, I have finally talked my Mister starting a little farm on our little plot in suburbia. We have a coop with some chickens {chicks at present} and have just finished our Front Yard Farm...as the front of our property happens to be where we get the most sun.
***************
We happen to live in the very town where my grandparents raised my mum + her brother...during a time when it was not uncommon to have a substantial vegetable garden or to hang your laundry out-of-doors. Women of that time {40's, 50's} who stayed at home to raise children {or worked part time as I do} lived simply, worked hard, were masters of most things thread + yarn related....and they looked fabulous while doing it! I suppose there is a part of myself that wants that kind of experience for myself + my family.
**********
So this is the space where I will chronicle this year's adventure toward making my sepia-drenched daydreams a reality. We have so enjoyed the experience thus far and have recieved loads of support + encouragement from family, friends + neighbors...who will not be all that surprised to see these red lips rockin' and adorable apron + some wellies more days than not.
Wish me luck + visit often!
xo.
