The heart of the homestead was Marj. With her loving attention both outside and in the house. Tending to all the gardens outside, and her special ability to create the most warm and inviting space inside for family and friends.

Marj’s green thumb turned each season's gifts into bountiful harvests for her family and friends. Preserving the fruits of her labor became a cherished ritual, filling jars with the essence of summer to enjoy through the long winter months.

Marj's passion for her homestead stretched beyond the physical; it was a philosophy of life. She taught those around her the importance of nurturing not just plants and animals, but relationships.

Her homestead was a world where nature flourished and hearts connected, a sanctuary of peace in the midst of life's hustle and bustle.
