good morning, friends!
we’re savoring a quiet monday morning after a very busy weekend with family & friends. those busy weekends are so good, but we love falling back into our routine on a monday after a handful of eventful days.
wishing you all the very best start to your week!
love,
natalie
p.s. just a reminder: pre-orders for planting calendars start tomorrow morning (tuesday) at 9am cst in my etsy shop!
we’ve recently experienced a shift in our eating. since spending nearly a month in europe this summer, we’ve fallen even more deeply in love with food. late into the evening, you’ll find every square inch of our kitchen lightly dusted in flour as luke perfects the perfect loaf of artisan bread.
you’ll find me tying on an apron, pouring a glass of wine, turning on a little folk music & savoring – rather than rushing through- dinner time prep. i’ve been pulling together all types of meals from coconut curries to thai noodles & peanut sauce. we’re spending just a bit more on groceries, but we’re loving every minute of our meal experiences.
some of my recent favorite meals:
– we’ve fallen in love this butternut squash & pumpkin curry recipe.
– this three bean chili is a slow cooker recipe, but i love the unexpected addition of chickpeas for any extra bit of protein.
– roasted whole chickens are perfect this time of year. i roast ours in the oven with parsnips, sweet potatoes & carrots.
what are you making in the kitchen these days?

friends, i am just so excited to share that our 2016 planting calendars are here & will be available for pre-order this upcoming tuesday, november 10th, starting at 9 am cst in our shop!
if you haven’t heard of our planting calendar, it is designed to inspire you to grow & harvest from your own garden. every page includes a seasonal farm life photo taken by me in addition to a month-at-a-glance formatted calendar.
below each month, you will find gardening notes & suggested vegetables to plant by seed or transplant. our calendars are valuable resources to guide you in what to plant & when, according to your region of the country.
our planting calendar is double-side printed on sturdy card stock & measures 6×9 inches with a matte finish. each calendar includes a metal clip for easy hanging (as pictured in the above photo).
last year we offered just the mid-south calendar, but this year we are offering planting calendars for every united states growing zone, including california, coastal south, pacific northwest, northeast, midwest & mid-south regions.
when purchasing your calendar from our etsy shop, you will be able to choose what specific calendar is most appropriate for you by finding your location on our map (as shown in the photo above).
this year’s 2016 calendar features stunning new images from our home & farm that we hope you love.
thank you so much to the many of you who purchased last year’s calendar. we hope it served as a valuable resource in growing your garden this year!
in planting her spring garden, ashley of under the sycamore, shared her go-to gardening resources, including our planting calendar! take a look here.
to thank you for pre-ordering a calendar, we’re offering 20% off with code PREORDER20 until november 16th. (this code starts next tuesday when pre-orders begin.)
