Meet Holly

Wife, mother to two special needs daughters, veterinarian, bookworm, and favorite walking partner to two Frisian Stabijhouns, Holly comes by her love of handwork, domesticity, and agrarian stewardship honestly. Taught to sew and cook by her mother, to enjoy the outdoors

and animals by her father, and the rhythms of farm life by grandparents on both sides, she has set good stewardship as a primary goal. Come along on the journey to preserve well-loved places, root ourselves into those communities, and care for them deeply.

After all,” Anne had said to Marilla once, “I believe the nicest and sweetest days

are not those on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens but just those that bring simple little pleasures, following one another softly, like pearls slipping off a string.”

I’d like to add some beauty to life,” said Anne dreamily.

“I don’t exactly want to make people KNOW more… though I know that IS the noblest ambition… but I’d love to make them have a pleasanter time because of me… to have some little joy or happy thought that would never have existed if I hadn’t been born.”.
