The three doors into a working homestead — and one kit to start with.
Most people begin in one of three places: the soil, the flock, or the pantry. This is all three, as a first shelf — for yourself, or for someone starting out.
- Soil Soul — compost piles, worm bins, soil tests.
- Hatch & Hover — incubation, brooding and the laying year.
- The Harvest Vault — the pantry count and the rotation.
- One Field Kit of your choice — printable reference cards or planners, delivered by email.
Three printed field journals ship together; the kit arrives by email the moment you check out.
A working record. Use a pencil. Mistakes are data.
From a small press
- 15 field journals, written as one closed-loop system.
- Written on a 3.2-acre working smallholding in Vermont, zone 6B.
- Printed on demand in the US — no warehouse, no overstock.
