about Axe & Root

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 and longed to remove myself from the daily rat race grind. 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, sheep, large vegetable plots, and a small orchard--all while practicing permaculture methods. I tap our own trees for maple syrup, create my own soap and we even added a hobby vineyard for homemade wine recently. 

I have found so much peace and contentment by living and working alongside animals and Mother Nature. It is my goal to give more back to the land than what I take. I believe in a holistic approach to homesteading and work to create a functioning ecosystem that mimics patterns found in nature between every plant and animal here. In 2023 I became certified through Cornell University as a Permaculturist. Now I strive to share this passion for natural homestead living with others through my Instagram account, online homesteading courses, my plant-based cookbook called The Harvest Table, The Little Homesteader/Little Country Cottage series, and The Sustainable Homestead (released spring 2023).
