by Angela of Axe & Root Homestead and Annette of Azure Farm |
Hello! I’m Angela and I have built Axe & Root Homestead, a six-acre farm in central New Jersey. I started homesteading in 2012 after I suffered postpartum depression with my first child. I was unhappy in the graphic design business I had worked over a decade to build successfully and longed to be outdoors, aligning my lifestyle with the seasons and with nature.
I started growing and preserving as much of my own homegrown produce as possible. We quickly grew from a home garden to a farm bustling with Clydesdales, geese and ducks for eggs, an apiary with ten beehives, sheep and a small orchard. I tap our own trees for maple syrup, create my own soap and we even added a hobby vineyard for homemade wine recently.
Growing and harvesting my own garden fresh produce and developing recipes for my family that are plant-based and inspired by the seasons is one of my absolute favorite things in life. I have found so much peace and contentment by living and working alongside animals and Mother Nature. Now I strive to share this passion for self-sufficient living with others through my Instagram account and online homesteading classes.
