Hey, y’all! I'm Patti, a southern gal now living on a beautiful island off the coast of Maine. My family and I tend to our dairy cows, chickens, occasional pigs, and continually attempt a vegetable garden.
Raised in Georgia, I bring a dash of southern charm to our island homestead, blending the two worlds of hearty, down-home cooking, and fresh, farm-to-table sustainability. Each week, I feed a bustling household of 10, including four hungry teenagers, creating meals that are not just mouthwatering, but also budget-friendly.
Join me as I navigate through seasonal produce from our farm and local sources, teach foundational cooking techniques, and share special recipes that have become our family's favorites. If you're passionate about wholesome food, frugal yet delicious recipes, and farm-fresh ingredients, then you're in the right place. Welcome to our homestead kitchen!
