Welcome to A Heritage Life: Where Everyday Moments Matter
There’s something special about slow mornings on the farm. The smell of fresh earth after a rain. The sound of kids’ laughter drifting across the garden rows. The clink of canning jars cooling on the countertop. The quiet prayers whispered over family meals and muddy boots left by the back door.
This is A Heritage Life.
We’re a family rooted in the old ways—homesteading, homeschooling, herbal medicine, and faith-driven living. Our farm is more than just land and livestock… it’s where our days unfold with purpose and where simple moments become sacred.
What You’ll Find Here on the Blog
Think of this space like pulling up a rocking chair on our front porch. Whether you’re here for encouragement, education, or just a little slice of slower living… you’re welcome.
Here’s what you can expect to find:
🌱 Homestead Wisdom:
From chicken-keeping tips to garden planning, food preservation, and seasonal rhythms—we’ll share what’s working (and what we’re still learning).
🍲 Tried-and-True Recipes:
The kind passed down on stained index cards or scribbled in the margins of cookbooks. From from-scratch meals to herbal teas and homemade remedies for whatever ails you.
🌿 Herbalism & Holistic Wellness:
Building a home apothecary, practical herbal protocols, natural health for kids and families, and old-world remedies that meet today’s needs.
🪴 Gardening & Growing:
Because whether you’ve got five acres or a windowsill, there’s something soul-settling about growing your own food and medicine.
❤️ Faith & Family Life:
Real talk about raising kids, growing a marriage, and keeping Christ at the center of it all—even when the laundry’s piled high and the to-do list feels never-ending.
🏡 Natural Living & Homemaking:
DIY cleaning recipes, non-toxic swaps, seasonal home rhythms, and making everyday spaces feel like home.
The Mercantile: Small Batch. Handcrafted. Heartfelt.
And if you’re looking for natural products made with the same care we use for our own family—you’ll find that at The Mercantile.
We offer small-batch herbal remedies, natural home goods, and wellness essentials—all crafted right here on our homestead. Every tincture, salve, or handcrafted good we sell is made with thoughtful stewardship and the belief that what we use on our family… we’ll only offer to yours.
Why We’re Here
Our heart is simple: To steward the sacred in the everyday.
To help you slow down, root deep, and find peace in the ordinary rhythms of life.
Whether it’s a recipe that becomes a new family favorite, an herbal tip that helps you care for your little ones, or just a word of encouragement that finds you on a weary day… we hope this space feels like the front-porch chat your soul has been craving.
Thank you for stopping by. We’re so glad you’re here.
With muddy hands and a grateful heart,
Jen & the A Heritage Life Family
