Are you trying to make a sourdough starter and bake bread from scratch? Make your own butter? Grow your own food without having a big homestead? Are you yearning for a simpler life? Learn old-fashioned skills? Become more (self-) sustainable? You have come to the right place!

My name is Anja and I teach urban and suburban families old-fashioned skills and heritage homemaking practices for a simpler, more meaningful, and sustainable living in a natural home. It all goes back to growing up in Germany and learning how my grandparents were doing so many things in their kitchen, their home, and their garden.

I post new videos of easy recipes, tutorials, minimalism, and DIY inspirations every Tuesday morning!
