    Eryn Whalen is a homestead blogger, recipe developer, and farmstead educator with over 10 years of hands-on experience in gardening, canning, sourdough baking, and traditional homemaking skills.

    Hello and welcome, friend! I’m Eryn, and I’m all about helping you create a cozy, intentional home through wholesome recipes, simple kitchen tips, and a love for the process of homemaking. Whether it’s transforming pantry staples into something special or discovering new family favorites, I’m here to inspire you to embrace a whole-foods lifestyle.

    As a family, we’re also restoring our 100+ acre homestead in Tennessee, breathing new life into our century-old farmhouse and reimagining the land. But for you, the heart of what I share is in the kitchen—delicious recipes, homestead inspiration, and the kind of content that brings joy to your table.

    Canning Recipes

    Three houses, and three gardens later, I’ve got to say our current set up is my favorite. Our cottage gardens are inspired by my beloved book “Secret Garden”. While our gardens are made for production, they’re also styled for beauty. See how we did it and follow along!
