In a world built for speed and convenience, choosing to slow down and create something fundamental with your own hands is a profound act. It connects us to our history, to our food, and to a sense of self-reliance that the modern world often denies us.

🍵 Your daily brew shouldn't cost the Earth. 🌎☕

While single-use paper filters lead to millions of trees cut down each year and often involve bleaching with harsh chemicals, there's a simpler way.

Our reusable coffee filters are designed to be washed and used over 50+ times.

“September tries its best to have us forget summer.” 🍂

And you know what? I’m ready for it. Ready for pumpkin spice, cozy knits, and the golden light of fall. Summer was beautiful, but there's magic in moving forward.

What are you most looking forward to this autumn?

Hope is flying south this fall! 🦋 The new 2025 report shows Monarch population numbers are up!

I've loved contributing to this comeback by planting milkweed and raising caterpillars in my garden. Releasing each butterfly is a tiny victory for nature.

Join the effort! #MonarchButterfly

It's so much more than a transaction. When you choose to shop small, you're investing in your neighbor's dream, helping a local family put food on the table, and fueling the unique character of our town. You're not just supporting a business, you're supporting an entire community. ❤️

I was out picking beans yesterday, and this little guy hopped from the beans 🫘 to the tomatoes 🍅. As best as I can tell, it’s a baby gray tree frog. #GardenLife #GardenFriends #TreeFrog #IowaGarden #Zone5 #Frogs

🏠🌺The hollyhock is nicknamed the "outhouse flower" because, in the old days, these tall, vibrant blooms were often planted near outhouses to provide privacy and mark their location. Their height and lush foliage made them perfect for concealing less picturesque structures. #GardenHistory
