About Marta

Welcome — I’m so glad you’re here!

I’m Marta, and this blog is where I share my journey back to health and wholeness through real food homemaking and traditional living. In my twenties, chronic health struggles pushed me to question everything I thought I knew about food, and along the way I rediscovered the nourishing wisdom of our ancestors—raw milk, pastured eggs, butter, broth, and simple meals made with care and intention.

Today, my mission is to walk alongside other moms who want to bring these time-tested skills back into their homes. You don’t have to figure it all out on your own—I’m here to encourage you step by step as you grow in confidence and competence as a homemaker. Together, we’ll explore what it means to grow, make, and live with intention, rooted in home, seasons, and the land.

If you’re longing for a slower, more grounded way of life—and a community that believes in the beauty of simple, traditional living—you’re in the right place.
