Soil to Story

We grow things. We make things. Sometimes we even finish them.

Welcome to our little slice of not-quite-a-farm.

We left Seattle and settled on a couple acres in Tacoma: enough room for a big garden, a workshop big enough for any fantasy, and a future full of slow-made things.

Right now, we’re digging up rocks (so many rocks), planting beds where there used to be lawn, cooking with what we grow, and building things.

The “back 40” might hold sunflowers, or corn, chickens, or goats someday, but for now, it’s just holding possibilities.

Soil to Story is where it all comes together: the garden, the workshop, the kitchen, and Paper Trail, my custom memory book studio. This is a work-in-progress kind of life, shared one dirty, delicious, half-baked story at a time.

  • The Volunteers are Organizing

    We didn’t plant potatoes. Or squash. Or lettuce in the flower row. But the garden had other plans. This is the season of volunteers: brassicas banding together, potatoes showing up with purpose, and a fringe of lettuce trying to blend in with the flowers. I’m not in charge anymore. I’m just trying to keep up.
