Our Story
ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Jess Martin! I’m 27 and I live in Springfield, Ohio with my husband, Spencer. I’m passionate about learning to live a slow life. My dream is to live on 30 acres and have a dairy cow, tend to a garden and create food from scratch. Right now we live in a neighborhood in town on 0.3 acres but I’m not letting that stop me from learning to be a homesteader! In my spare time you’ll find me in the kitchen cooking up healthy recipes, outside watering my flower garden or working on a DIY home project. I have a lot of skills I want to learn and projects around the house I want to accomplish and I’m excited to document and share the journey with you.
If you’re interested in cooking wholesome meals, creating a home you love and have a yearning to live a slower life….you’ve come to the right place.

Meet Spencer
Spencer and I first met in 2016 in Columbus, Ohio where we both attended Ohio State. We love to travel, spend time outdoors and cozy up for night in with a home cooked dinner. Spencer works as an arborist and is passionate about cultivating native landscapes. He really enjoys backpacking and riding his bike! This year he wants to get into bikepacking.
