I shared a video last night to our insiders club discussing this. This is how we have waterproofed leather on The Compound for generations. Traditions are kept alive here on The Compound, the old ways that kept our family well fed, independent, and secure are still good enough for us. This waterproofing works well on all our leather goods from boots to reins and saddles 🙃. . . . . . . . #homeschoolmama #homeschoolmom #homemaker #homepreserving #preservingfood #preservingtheharvest #homegrownharvest #homemade #harvest #homegrownfood #homegrownveggies #homegrowntomatoes #homegrownkids #sourdoughstarter #sourdoughbaking #sourdoughschool #sourdoughlove #venison #tallow #knowyourfarmer #gardeningideas #foodstagram #nytimescooking #tasteofthesouth #tasteofhome #southernliving #imsomartha #cottagecore #huntingseason #southernfood https://www.instagram.com/p/CjlnAW6uCB-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Mamaw didn’t do trends, she did trusted. That meant that the people who advised her must be worthy of her trust. Friend, fads fade and change almost as often as the seasons do. Don’t fall into the trap of trending. These temporary things will not take you to the place you desire to go. The old path is well worn, it’s basic, it isn’t as cute, but the endpoint is the very place you need to reach. . . . . . #homeschoolmama #homeschoolmom #homemaker #homepreserving #preservingfood #preservingtheharvest #homegrownharvest #homemade #homemadewithlove #homegrownfood #homegrownveggies #homegrowntomatoes #homegrownkids #sourdoughstarter #sourdoughbaking #sourdoughschool #sourdoughlove #gardening #seedstarting #knowyourfarmer #gardeningideas #foodstagram #nytimescooking #tasteofthesouth #tasteofhome #southernliving #imsomartha #cottagecore #foodie #southernfood https://www.instagram.com/p/CjkxwHouicE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I feel as though we say this on repeat here in this influencer space. You don’t need *more*. This is why you don’t see us pushing products. You don’t need more. What you need is to flex your creative muscles and make do with what you have until there’s such a time that you *DO* actually *NEED* something. We are the least influencer-ish influencers on social media. Why? Because we don’t talk about companies who aren’t making their products in America, we aren’t pushing you to purchase our courses or memberships although we have made them available to you via our website if you choose to purchase them, and we encourage you not to purchase *more* in a world that treats *more* as better. *More is not better. It’s just more* Don’t fall prey to the *more* mindset. If we can influence you to do ANYTHING. Let it be to: Learn all of the old skills Give attention to those who have years of experience and let them teach you. Stay true to the old path, our ancestors knew a thing or two. . . . . . . . . #homeschoolmama #homeschoolmom #homemaker #homepreserving #preservingfood #preservingtheharvest #homegrownharvest #homemade #homemadewithlove #homegrownfood #homegrownveggies #homegrowntomatoes #homegrownkids #sourdoughstarter #sourdoughbaking #sourdoughschool #sourdoughlove #gardening #seedstarting #knowyourfarmer #gardeningideas #foodstagram #nytimescooking #tasteofthesouth #tasteofhome #southernliving #imsomartha #cottagecore #foodie #southernfood https://www.instagram.com/p/CinpMCKOLiu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My greeeeeeeeat great great grandmothers face says it all. I feel her. Just know this- for 1 week only for just this one time (I promise never again) I will be mentioning a product we participated in creating which is for sale. Constantly mentioning a product is unlike us and against our grain. So you’ll be seeing a post in stories and one post here in squares each day for a week then never again and maybe not even everyday I can’t decide bc I just can’t get behind aggressive marketing. If you’d like to shop our link fine. If not fine. No pressure. We know times are tough. Link will be in bio and we love y’all regardless of your ability to shop it. 🥰. . . . . . . . . . #homeschoolmama #homeschoolmom #homemaker #homepreserving #preservingfood #preservingtheharvest #homegrownharvest #homemade #homemadewithlove #homegrownfood #homegrownveggies #homegrowntomatoes #homegrownkids #sourdoughstarter #sourdoughbaking #sourdoughschool #sourdoughlove #gardening #seedstarting #knowyourfarmer #gardeningideas #foodstagram #nytimescooking #tasteofthesouth #tasteofhome #southernliving #imsomartha #cottagecore #foodie #southernfood https://www.instagram.com/p/CikD7vKOY59/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

*Giveaway Info* Pinterest is cute but those farmhouses you see on there aren’t functioning farmhouses... I hope you know that. Functional farm homes aren’t about an “aesthetic”. That’s a fad. Fads don’t last. What does last? Those 100+ year old cast irons I’m still using today. The canner my granny left me that isn’t at all new looking or fancy. The jars I’m using aren’t new either, some are well over 75 years old. Granny didn’t leave us a “look”, she left us something that was useful. She left a legacy of knowledge and the tools she worked with everyday. I promise, your grandchildren don’t need you to leave behind an aesthetic……. They need you to leave behind skills and tools that will provide during uncertain times. **GIVEAWAY to win a 60 pack of superb canning lids. How To Enter: *Open to US Residents Only.
