Wanderin Oak Gardens Goodwin Life – Kathleen Goodwin

Wanderin Oak Gardens

Find your roots.

We are Kathleen and Zach Goodwin, and we never set out to be homesteaders. But somewhere along the way, that is what we became. What began as a desire to grow our own food and be stewards to the land evolved into a lifestyle of self-sufficiency, where growth happens every day, and not just inside the garden.

Welcome to Wanderin' Oak Gardens, a place where we strive to share what we know, what we are learning, and all the things we don't quite yet understand. It is a place to find recipes using real ingredients, learn a few tips and tricks, hear stories of our successes (and failures), and consider musings about our small place in this big world. It is a place where adventure is disguised as daily life, love is more than a four-letter word, and hands are usually covered in dirt or bread dough. A place to learn something new, discover different routes, and maybe find your roots along the way. So come on in and stay a while! We're so glad you decided to stop by.

Let's Dig In

Homesteading can feel intimidating, but we are here to take some of the pressure off. Learn how we balance our homestead with the demands of 21st century living. On our blog, you'll find recipes, tips and tricks, helpful guides, and inspiration.

In the Kitchen

Food is more than fuel—it is comfort, it creates joy, and it brings people together. In our kitchen, something is always cooking, marinating, or fermenting. We believe in food made with real ingredients that is good for you, good for the soul, and well, just plain good.

On the Farm

Our 5-acre homestead has a lot going on! From vegetable gardening and fruit foraging to raising chickens, goats, and bees, we believe that the most important part of homesteading is caring for the land and all the life that comes from it.

Live Simply

Homestead living is more than just farming, gardening, food preservation, and living off the land. It is about seeking joy in simplicity, finding purpose and use (or re-use!) for all things, and living mindfully each day.

Travel Often

Just because we've laid down roots doesn't mean that we don't love to wander. Travel is an essential part of our life because it encourages different perspectives, allows us to meet and befriend new people, all while getting the chance to see more of this beautiful world and create memories together as a family.

Musings

Sometimes long and always winding, "musings" are a catch-all for those thoughts that don't fit neatly into a category. Here, you might find poems and short stories, or essays about life in general, or our views on the world in which we live and the life we are trying to mold each and every day.

About Us

We are Zach and Kathleen Goodwin. Originally from Georgia, we spent 8 years living in Colorado and Montana before returning to our roots. We are in the process of building our 5-acre homestead outside of Madison, Georgia, where we will have the chance to integrate our skills of gardening, animal husbandry, food preservation, crafting, self-sufficiency, and homestead-living into our daily life. All good things take time, and we are building our homestead from scratch, so stay tuned for updates and things we learn along the way!

A lame post of course. But it needs a decent excerpt so that we can test it, and see what it looks like. Pretty cool huh? Wish it had a photo. But no big deal. Lorem ipsum dolor sit...
