where this all began
I was raised in a small family by my grandparents, so I got to travel a lot. Thus, I became a foodie and enjoy the simple things in life. I started working outside and in our garden at a very young age and want to share the same experience. These experiences created some of the best memories.
I live in beautiful Pleasant Plains, Illinois—and there’s truly no place I’d rather be. I’ve turned my passion for homesteading into a career, and I’m so grateful I get to share it with you. Being a full-time blogger from home allows me to live out the values I care about most: a simple, seasonal lifestyle, good food made from scratch, and a healthy, happy home.
There are several recipes and posts on my blog that can be made or done with little ones (with some help of a parent, of course)! Thank you for being here and following along!
From farmhouse recipes to DIY projects, homestead tips, and family-friendly meals, Broken P ranch is your go-to for simple, seasonal living.
