Even though technology makes us more “connected” than ever, we still hunger for authentic relationships — with the natural world, our Creator, and one another. But how do we find them, especially when we’ve lost touch with many of the foundational rhythms that draw us together? We find connection again in the rhythms and practices that have united us since the beginning of time, and still do: we get our hands dirty, we invest in authentic community, and we open up our tables.

The Kindred Life: Stories and Recipes to Cultivate a Life of Organic Connection is a rallying cry for real connection in a time when we need to recapture what's been lost in the chaos of busyness, distraction, and isolation. In this collection of
CULTIVATE A LIFE OF
Beauty, Nourishment, and Community
stories, photos, journaling prompts, and recipes from my home on Kindred Farm in Santa Fe, Tennessee (right here in Maury County!), I’m sharing both the beautiful and gritty moments as I’ve grown from a hopeful urban gardener to co-owner of a regenerative farm full of produce, bees, chickens, and flowers that provides meaningful experiences for friends, family, and hundreds of guests each year. I actually started this project in 2019, but what’s happened in all of our lives the last few years has made it clear that we need this now more than ever. If you're hungering to be nourished on a soul level, to reclaim the gifts you have to offer the world, and to connect to a deep sense of community, this book is for you.
