Simple East Coast Living

We come together, learning from our community of homesteaders, farmers, crafters and artisans. We will learn from each other, hopefully face to face and in person, stronger and with more clarity, having valuable conversations to further our journey in learning more basic skills.

Now live ! CHRISTMAS “FROM THE FARM” GIFT BASKETS Looks like I’ll be canning up lots more moose meat shortly! This was shot by my Dad, who just turned 70-a 17 point bull, 48 inches across and he took the shot at 175 meters. What a beautiful beast. It’s WWE smack down, canine episode. This workshop is solid with tip and strategies to stretch your food dollars. It’s coming soon to local NSCC campuses so stay tuned for those dates and locations. Dates are still open however, so if you are interested in hosting this for your community, group or organization, please reach out as I would love to make this happen for as many people as possible. I love to do things outside. I just feel better when I take even ordinary tasks out into the sunshine. This seems natural in the summer but fall and winter we tend to go back inside. Especially when there is a lot of canning to do. But I try to take what I can outside. I’ve realized after decades of working under fluorescent lighting and inside, I feel so much more alive when I expose myself to sunlight whenever I can. In healthcare, so many of us were mentally tired, even going outside on our 30 minute lunch seemed exhausting. It was easier to just slap yourself into a chair and eat quickly. I was one of the lucky ones as I had the farm so I was outside before work and after work. For meals, I try to use what’s coming out of the garden or what’s leftover, however sometimes I fall prey to thinking meals need to be complicated. I temporarily lose my senses wasting time at the store shopping for specific ingredients, spending too much money (because who goes in for just one thing??), undertaking complicated 6-step, 15- pan meals. Obviously, I have not acquired a lottery win, or a dishwasher overnight. That’s when I give my head a shake and remember the word “NOURISH”.
