Hello from A Farm to Keep’s founder,
Julia Linsteadt
I started living more simply and slowly after dealing with significant burnout from my career and modern expectations that left me hospitalized and fatigued.
Then, after a life-altering accident, my journey into working with plants, tending to my creativity, and discovering the benefits of mindfulness became my life’s work.
Fast forward to today, where my mission as a gardener, herbalist, and artist is to share my skills and practices with everyone who needs a little more simplicity, wellness, and everyday magic.
Here you will find projects and recipes designed to connect you to nature, rewild your soul, and enrich your days with simplicity and joy.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
Discover how simple it is to raise your family with joy, wonder, and purpose rooted in seasonal, sustainable, and slow ways of living.
What we put on our bodies, our plates, our bookshelves, our homes, and on our daily schedules are the simple choices that dictate our days and our everyday experiences.
Because so much of our lives are steeped in hustle culture, we must look for ways to keep our days anchored in what matters most-wholesome meals, healthy homes, and a dash of magic that only comes from connecting to our creativity.
A Farm to Keep chronicles our family’s journey to living a simpler, slower, and more natural life connected to nature, the seasons, and our ancestral roots, while celebrating the everyday joys of growing a garden, cooking nourishing foods, and crafting by hand.
A Farm to Keep’s content and community are here to inspire fellow families to be the keepers of their everyday magic.
