Welcome to The Kiwi Country Girl!
I'm Laura, and I live on a farm in New Zealand with my husband Josh, our 3 country kids and a bunch of animals!
We are just a typical Kiwi family, trying to live a more "made from scratch" life by getting back to basics - home cooking, bread making, preserving, gardening, keeping chickens and just enjoying the simple things in life.
And more importantly, we want to help you do the same! And to prove that you can do it, regardless of where you live or what you do.
We also realise that living a more simple, homemade life or becoming more self-sufficient looks a little different for everyone, but no matter where you are on your journey, we have articles, recipes and posts to help you along the way!

This blog is all about our journey towards growing our homestead and living our best made from scratch life.
We are certainly not experts in any of this, we're just learning as we go, and if we can help or encourage you to try something new and help get your started on your own journey, even better!
We also share our family's favourite recipes so if you are looking for new inspiration in the kitchen, you'll find it here!
