A Life Rooted in Purpose
We’ve been thinking a lot about what used to be ordinary.
About how food once came from nearby. How kitchens held jars and herbs and quiet knowledge.
How children grew up knowing where milk and eggs and bread came from. How neighbours fed one another without calling it a movement.
We have lived this life before and now, in a new place and a new chapter, we are beginning again.
Oak & Acre is our way of returning to the work of growing food, caring for animals, keeping household wisdom alive, and rebuilding something that feels both ancient and necessary.
And we’re inviting you to walk this way back with us.
