SEASONAL LIVING FROM OUR PORCH TO YOURS
winter on the Homestead
Winter has settled over the farm and everything feels a little softer, a little slower, a little more like the world is pausing so we can breathe again. The fields are sleeping under their blanket of snow. The trees stand quiet and still. Even the wind seems to speak in a hush this time of year.
Inside the homestead the days take on a gentler rhythm. The kitchen stays warm from baking and simmering pots. The table is scattered with ribbons, dried oranges, and bits of evergreen. There is always a mug sitting somewhere, sending little curls of steam into the cold morning air. Winter has a way of drawing us inward and reminding us that the small things are the heart of a season.
This is the time of year when we lean into simple comforts. Bread rising on the counter. Something fragrant in the oven. A candle burning on a quiet afternoon. The kind of moments that hold more meaning than they seem to at first glance. Winter is honest like that. It asks us to notice what is steady and nourishing, even when the world outside stands still.
Thank you for visiting our homestead space. May this season bring you warmth, peace, and a renewed love for the slow and beautiful parts of life.
Welcome to Fallow & Blossom
Warmly, Amanda

Fallow & Blossom Homestead is where we share what we’re learning (and unlearning) about seasonal living, homegrown food, and creating a life that feels a little more like home. No pressure, just progress.

What's in Season
Our homestead is resting under winter’s quiet blanket. The garden beds are sleeping, the fields are still, and the world feels settled in its cold and peaceful rhythm. This season my heart is leaning into the calm, savoring the gentle hush that winter brings.
