Traditional Living ...

In A Modern Age

Tapestry homestead celebrates the simple things in life that offer the greatest rewards; nourishing foods & handmade goods. These rewards are only made better when shared with family & friends – our aim is to empower our community to take control of your day-to-day lives & reconnect with the self reliance that defined our grandparents’ generation. Whether you live in the country or in town I hope your time here inspires you to dream & plan; to create & share … to find the beauty & fulfillment in a handmade life.

Our Mission ...

We value quality over quantity

Our mission has never been to be the biggest farm or the most profitable. Our goal has always been to raise enough food to feed our own family & a little bit more for friends who share our values & priorities.

We would rather raise a few animals properly than risk the standard of care they deserve by raising more.

The same goes for our clients; we want to be on a face to face basis with you; & that will never change.

Our blog is a collection of articles outlining slow living, old fashioned recipes & homestead hobbies. It offers step-by-step guides, handy reference charts, tables & diagrams illustrating what independence & self reliance looks like for us here on Tapestry Homestead. Everything from cheese making, to beer brewing, yarn spinning & ice fishing – these projects range from the entry level & up but the majority are within the capabilities of the average reader. We encourage you to dig in & find the project that speaks to you wherever you are at in your handmade journey.
