"In a world where so many of us are craving a life of simplicity and meaning, Old-Fashioned on Purpose gives you the roadmap to rediscovering what really matters." —Hal Elrod, bestselling author of The Miracle Morning

With a foreword from singer, songwriter, and New York Times bestselling author Rory Feek

Creator of The Prairie Homestead blog and the Old-Fashioned On Purpose podcast Jill Winger reveals that the secrets to finding happiness today is by turning to the lost arts of the past

When the pandemic hit in 2020, flour and vegetable seeds flew off the shelves. But homesteader and entrepreneur Jill Winger believes these longings for sourdough bread and fresh veggies are more than a trend.

As our society races toward progress, we’ve left something important behind. We are more connected than ever before, yet we’re still feeling unfulfilled. In Old-Fashioned on Purpose, Winger shows how simplifying our lives and adopting retro skills such as gardening and handiwork can be the key to creating the happy and healthy life we’re yearning for. Inside these pages, readers will learn:

• How to find joy in the kitchen (even if you hate to cook)
• Proven strategies for growing your own groceries
• The surprising stress-relievers that can be found in your backyard
• How to craft a more grounded routine and save money in the process
• Clever tips and creative DIYs to help you embark on your old-fashioned journey

You don’t have to live on a farm to cultivate a simpler life. This inspiring and practical book offers a powerful new sense of purpose, with plenty of tomatoes, chickens, and bread making along the way.

WORTH YOUR TIME!

This book not only has countless nuggets of information but it’s almost as if the author is sitting with you. She does a fantastic job speaking to the hearts of women on a journey back to the basics.

While I didn’t know know of Jill Winger prior to this book, I’m now a fan. I listen to her podcasts while doing housework and gardening. I guess you could say this book kept me thirsting for me.

Challenges

The author of this book, also the narrator, gives good info on challenges she went through when she chose to go old fashioned on purpose and encourages you to challenge yourself. Hard work can be rewarding.

The Soul Searching

This book reached into the crevices of my innermost being. I've always been drawn to days gone by and family heirlooms handed down that showed me the ways my ancestors lived. We recently built a house on 2 acres and I read this book at the recommendation of a friend on Facebook... go figure. After the part on social media, I realized I have a problem. I'm in shock. I set my limits to 30 minutes a day, made a sourdough starter, and I'm starting a garden. This is the kick in the butt I needed. Our youngest is in college. Better late than never! Thank you, Jill for bringing this home me. I'm finding me again. It's time.
