I’m almost done with this book (November 2023). It has been such a refreshing read for me to see someone else, younger than me, walking a path not often walked in lifestyle, childrearing, education, and more. I have found that the unbeaten path or the “odd path” has often been the best path for me and for our family. This book explores the pull that so many of us feel…the pull to return to simpler times, and to many of the ways, foods, and traditions that our grandparents and their parents followed. The author believes that this is “A remembering…A returning to what matters… And it’s available to everyone.”

While reading the book I’ve learned a lot about our food, about steps to returning to past traditions, and cultivating the areas of life that are important to me and to so many others. I highly recommend this book and following Jill’s website at www.theprairiehomestead.com
