Answer the calling deep within for a simpler life

Join me in connecting with nature on a deeper level. In Simple Country Living, you’ll find a sampler covering homesteading techniques that can be put to work no matter where you live. Recipes, tips, tricks, and family activities will help you reduce waste, save money, and harness new skills:

  • Create family traditions around nature, including strawberry and apple picking, natural egg dye, salt dough ornament making, and decorating your home with natural elements, plus some recipes too! Make DIY cleaning sprays, reduce food waste, learn self-sufficient laundry and bathroom tips, and share the bounty with nature-inspired gifts and gatherings.

  • Master the essentials for a healthy garden, including soil health, garden layout, raised beds, choosing your seeds, frost dates, crop rotation, companion planting, compost essentials, and ways to involve the whole family in the garden.

  • Decide what to grow based on your climate and preferences, figure out how much to plant, and garden through the seasons. Go further with home orchards or berry patches, and explore the benefits of natural pest control, greenhouses, and animals in the garden. There are also activities for the family inspired by the garden.

  • Learn everything you need to can, freeze, dehydrate, and save seeds—including plenty of recipes, from salsa to fruit spreads. Have the whole family join in and create memories together.

  • Embrace garden-to-table eating with seasonal recipes. Learn how to stock a resilient homestead pantry and find a selection of tried-and-true recipes the whole family will love (and love to cook!)

No matter where you live or what skills you already have, the simple country life can be more than a state of mind. Start growing more, cooking more, and living in rhythm with nature.

 

 Testimonials

 
book testimonial

"In between the covers of this book Annette beautifully lays out the practical skills of ‘how’ and even more so ‘why’ the multitudes of us who are caught up in a world rushing by at break-neck speed, ought to seriously consider slowing down and simplifying our lives, wherever we are. How wanting and having less, is actually more fulfilling. And how home can and should be more than just a pitstop on our way to and from places that are more important. Her beautiful book, along with her personal example, reminds us that centering our dreams and lives around the home, along with our families and our faith, is where we're ultimately going to find the meaning and purpose most of us are seeking"

— Rory Feek | Author, Singer-Songwriter

“I think it would be impossible to thumb through this book without craving a simpler, slower way of life. Annette does a brilliant job of offering practical, yet inspiring advice that anyone can apply.”

— Jill Winger | author of The Prairie Homestead Cookbook & Old-Fashioned on Purpose

"The beauty of Simple Country Living is that it emphasizes just that - living. As an experienced gardener and homesteader, the little joys that make up a life dedicated to producing your own food are what make all of the hard times worth it, and Annette walks you step-by-step on exactly how to create those incredible memories in her book"
