Hi, I’m Taryn, the hands and heart behind JT Homestead. What started as a passion for growing our own food, raising a few chickens, and living a little slower has turned into a lifestyle-and a community of over 29,000 kindred spirits on Instagram.

Here on the blog, I’m sharing more of what I’ve learned (and continue to learn!) about gardening, preserving, cooking from scratch, natural rhythms, and finding resilience in the everyday. Whether your dreaming of your first garden bed or you’re already knee-deep in compost and canning jars, you’re welcome here!

JT Homestead is about more than just the how-tos – it’s about creating a life that’s rooted, intentional, and real. I strive to bring glory to God in all that takes place on the homestead. Thanks for being here.
