About Us

Hey there, I’m so glad you found our little corner of the web! My name is Jessi, pictured here with my husband, Sage, and our two little farm hands. Home is our 45-acre farmstead in Bourbon Co. Kansas where we use holistic farming practices to grow a large portion of our own food. We’ve been homesteading since 2016- before it was cool! Truly though, we were just following our passion to have a hand in feeding ourselves. We’ve always had the understanding of where food comes from, Sage growing up on a ranch here in Kansas and myself raised on a farm in Missouri. One thing about us, we’re no strangers to dirt, work and sweat! But we craved something simpler. Something more wholesome. And that’s where our journey began, as a seed, an idea that maybe there’s something more to this life than working for money day after day…

Now here we are, 6 years later and that little seed has sure grown! Our desire and passion for this lifestyle has only deepened and we hope to share the knowledge we’ve gained along the way with other like-minded folks looking to live a simpler, more fulfilling life. If you’re looking for inspiration to start your own homestead, look no further! Follow our journey as we share tips and tricks on organic gardening, holistic animal husbandry, natural living and my favorite farm-to-table recipes.

10 Fun facts about us

  • Sage and I met and started dating at 16 and 17 years old- can you guess who’s older?
  • Before I found my passion growing and making herbal skincare, I designed a few websites (and hated it!)
  • Many people are under the impression we’re antisocial- mainly because we have no desire to leave the farm
  • We don’t really like spicy food
  • Sage was raised in a tomato-hating family (gasp!) and after many thorough taste tests, he is a convert
  • I am one of those “I don’t have a favorite color; I like the rainbow” because I am literally that indecisive…
  • Sage plans nothing, I plan down to the hour in my paper planner, and we work well together… most of the time (wink, wink)
  • I am a foodie, through and through
  • Sage’s least favorite animal? Whichever goat is screaming at him this moment (insert me laughing)
  • My favorite animal? At this moment in time- our milk cow, hands down!

Here's your push. Start the garden. Now. Trust m Here's your push. 

Start the garden. Now. Trust me, we've been behind schedule all year but guess what, it's okay. We're still harvesting tons of food.

It's not too late, I promise. Go to the nursery, buy established plants. Try soil bag growing, container gardening, whatever you have to do. Just get something growing. 

It will be the most rewarding and satisfying thing you may ever do. There's too many benefits to list. 

Already have a garden? Now's the perfect time to get another succession of warm season annuals going.

I don't care what your "but's" and "I can't because's" are. Just plant. 

Feeling so grateful for all of God's glory this evening ❤️ 

Now tell me, what's your favorite thing to grow? Or something your most excited to start growing? ⬇️

How do you feel about your skin? Unfortunately it How do you feel about your skin?

Unfortunately it's easy to judge our skin harshly, comparing to picture perfect versions of radiant, "healthy' skin (which usually comes from a bottle or a photo filter!) 📷 It's easy to feel like we're too oily or too dry, too light, too dark, too pink or too brown... Anything except perfect. 

Handcrafted soaps and herbal skin care is one way to say "thank you" to the skin you're in, while giving yourself a little love too. 💖

When you're sudsing up with a creamy goat milk soap, smoothing on a lotion stick or body butter, healing a painful area with a salve, or soaking in a hot milk or herbal bath at the end of a long day, you can choose to affirm the beauty, strength, and capacity of your incredible skin. And by caring for your skin in some very practical ways, you can look and feel your best from the outside in. 🙌 

Pictured is our Frankincense & Myrrh goat milk soap. All of our handcrafted products are scented with pure essential oils and colored naturally with plants and clays. Gentle, soothing and non toxic, just the way skin care should be.

Why goat milk soap? 🥛 Honestly, when we starte Why goat milk soap? 🥛

Honestly, when we started using goat milk in our soap, it was just because we had a glut of it, and it sounded fun. Right away though, I realized this soap is different, a lot different!

After doing a bit of research I learned that the lactic acid in goat milk, with other naturally present acids, work to exfoliate dead skin, providing a gentle clean without stripping and irritating the skin. It does this by breaking down the bonds between dead cells so that your younger, fresher skin beneath can emerge. Ultimately, this means that it is ideal for all skin types, including sensitive skin, babies, or those with skin conditions.

You guys have been showering me with so much love and support at the markets and I couldn't be anymore thankful! 

I keep getting messages about low stock on our website and I just want you to know I am making soap like a crazy woman and selling it just as fast! In the past week we have almost doubled our batch sizes to accommodate demand. My curing rack is about to burst. 😆 Thank you all for your understanding and patience throughout these growing pains! We have so many exciting things on the books for the rest of this year ;)

Self Reliance vs. Community Importance... I'm so Self Reliance vs. Community Importance... 

I'm so glad this is a topic in the #backtoprairieliving challenge because it is one of my favorite things to talk about. 

We were once "every man for himself" thinkers. This was in the very beginning of our homestead journey and we felt because we were doing very unconventional things everyone was against us. Well we were right and wrong 😆 There's always going to be nay-sayers and Debbie-downers but overall we received so much support and interest in the way we were doing things. 

Insert 2020:
People started coming to us for help starting a garden. Some bought chickens and goats to start their own flocks and herds. Others came to the farm to purchase fresh produce and eggs because they have no space to grow their own.

And this is when we realized, we all need each other to be able to learn, grow and evolve. This is how the world is meant to be. All for one, one for all. Those who support us are enabling us to grow our farm to be able to help more members of the community. It's a beautiful cycle and we're so fortunate to be a part of it. 🙌

*Edited to add:
All this is not say we aren't self reliant, we are! Whatever you do, don't rely on the government 😆 #knowyourfarmer
