Welcome to new sponsors:
The Vermont Branch Company:: The Vermont Branch Company was a family’s dream come true – to work with natural materials found near or on their homestead in order to create a livelihood where the family can work, play, learn, and love together. Their offerings include Waldorf inspired toys and rustic home decor. You can read more about their family’s lifestyle at their blog, Plain and Joyful Living.
The Sitting Tree :: We are Liz and Mike, a pair of soon to be off grid homesteaders, living in the north woods of Wisconsin with a trio of wildly creative and beautiful unschooled boys, an English Setter called Bailey, and a reclusive black cat who wandered into the house a few years ago and never left. In the shop you’ll find an ever changing variety of natural, sustainable products including our homemade soaps, tree branch buttons and ornaments, upcycled clothing, knitting patterns and hand dyed yarns. If you’d like to join us for stories about creating, homeschooling, and our journey to homesteading, meet us under the old oak tree at our blog.
