The Hearth

Homemaking, natural cleaning, soap and candles, and the slow, rooted rhythms that hold the rest of it together.

Introducing

Ed & Kate

I'm Kate, and this is my dad, Ed. I'm on a mission to document all his knowledge about simple living, gardening, working with nature, and home remedies so I can pass it down to the next generation. We live together with our families on 80 acres in Oklahoma in repurposed 1800s log cabins. We believe "to seek to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you," -1 Thessalonians 4:11
