You don’t need a homestead or farmhouse kitchen

You don’t need a homestead or farmhouse kitchen to start living more sustainably‼️

I started while renting a townhome on LESS than a quarter acre lot🏡 HERE’S HOW ⬇️

💾But first, save this to come back to for inspo!

I started where I was. My heart yearned for some land, chickens and a garden…. But God said, “not yet.” So, with a lot of coffee + patience, I started my sourdough journey.

1️⃣ I researched.
2️⃣ I tried and failed.
3️⃣ I learned through the process.

The most important thing in those 3 steps was the fact that I just started. I didn’t wait for my ideal circumstance. I didn’t wait until I thought I knew it all. I just started.

➡️If you’re ready to just start where you are, comment SOURDOUGH and you’ll get my free sourdough basics guide right to your inbox! 🫶🏼

I’m not an expert by any means, but I’d love to meet you where you are and help you to just.get.started!

You want to start living a “homestead” lifesty

You want to start living a “homestead” lifestyle but you don’t have acres of land or you live in a subdivision with an HOA that doesn’t allow chickens….

I’m here to tell you that you CAN turn your waiting room into a classroom (thanks @roots_and_refuge for that golden nugget). That’s exactly what I did before we bought our 14 acre property, and here’s how ⬇️

💾But first, SAVE this post to come back to!

➡️Start by baking bread from scratch instead of buying it from the store.

➡️Insert sourdough 🥖Sourdough has become increasingly popular, and for good reason. The health benefits far exceed any store bought bread AND it’s way less expensive to make your own.

➡️You don’t need acres of land. You don’t need to own chickens. You don’t even need a garden. You CAN get started on your journey today by making this simple switch.

➡️I’m launching my FREE sourdough guide this weekend where I’ll cover everything you need and the exact recipe I use as a busy, working mama. Trust me, it’s not as complicated as you think!

🥖Comment SOURDOUGH and you’ll get instant access to the guide when it launches! 🎉

I can’t wait for you to start baking bread that nourishes + saves your family money! 🥖

Sourdough CAN be overwhelming but it doesn’t HAV

Sourdough CAN be overwhelming but it doesn’t HAVE to be overwhelming. Start with these 3 simple steps ⬇️

💾 But first, save this post so you can refer back to it when the doubts start to creep in.

1️⃣Order supplies - you can make do with JUST a dutch oven, a mason jar and a digital food scale. That’s where I started. But if you want more, comment “SOURDOUGH” and I’ll DM you the link to my favorite sourdough essentials!

2️⃣ Get a sourdough starter - if you have a friend who can make you one from theirs, ask them (🙋🏻‍♀️). If not, order a dehydrated one from @whisperingwillowfrm or @ballerinafarm. Yes, you can absolutely make your own but if you are a super beginner like I was, I don’t recommend it. That alone can be overwhelming (mine failed multiple times!) and you want to start on a positive note with a STRONG starter👊🏼

3️⃣Find a recipe to try - After trying multiple recipes, I’ve tweaked them all to make my own. Follow along + come back here @thecassielong to snag the freebie guide (recipe included) when it launches NEXT WEEK 🥖

PS- to get INSTANT ACCESS when the guide launches, join my community at the link in my bio. 💜

Hey dads, daughters, sons + friends - need a last minute Mother’s Day gift? Take her to your local nursery + let her pick out a peach tree… by next summer she will have an abundant harvest 🍑

This is an especially great for first year mama’s as you can name them after your children and as you harvest for years to come, you’ll always remember that special first Mother’s Day! 💕

While this one wasn’t given to me on my FIRST Mother’s Day, it is my Charlotte tree + this year we got me a Cooper tree which is a pear tree 🍐 Happy Mother’s Day! 💕
