The Perennial Homestead

The Perennial Homestead A seasonal shop specializing in simple things for special days Flash forward to March 2020 - everything changed in an instant.

Some of you who’ve been here from the start may recall that our little candy business, Snowshoe Candy Co., started as a companion to a market farm where I worked - a perfect off-season craft to celebrate the colder days & “make winter warmer”. As Scott & I pursued our own market farm enterprise, we continued the adventures in candy making in the off season. When we moved to our current homestead i

n 2017, the lines between the seasons began to blur & we realized that we need not compartmentalize our life into two tidy boxes: Candy making & homesteading. How they belonged together, we wouldn’t quite understand until the passing of more seasons & the changing of our brand last year to Snowshoe & Company- an attempt to link the many interests we have as a family & as a business. Suddenly, we were working together as a family from home, growing our dream homestead garden & tasting what it felt like to work together for “real”. Along with the sadness that comes from a pandemic sweeping our world, climate-disasters wreaking havoc on our earth & social justice issues front & center, there was a sweetness of being & working together. Our new brand, The Perennial Homestead, feels like it’s been here all along - it’s part of our family and our life. The word “perennial” means “lasting or existing for a long or apparently infinite time; enduring or continually recurring” and captures the lifestyle we seek - one that looks to our ancestors for skills, wisdom and knowledge, and looks to our future, crafting goods, learning skills and sharing the abundance in a way that continues for generations to come. To us, to “homestead” is a radical act of reclaiming the skills to create a life in tune with the world around us. One that is in community with nature and with our neighbors. Our brand seeks to create goods that are from the land, crafted with care, honor the makers, and bring joy to everyday.

🌱 Homegrown, with love 🌱

We’ve already started tending to seeds for our gardens and yours, and we’re thrilled to share with you the varieties that we’re growing this year, so you can plan your own garden!

All of our seedlings are grown in organic potting soil from using non-GMO seeds, and all natural amendments as needed. Pot size and pricing varies.

Our garden plants will be available at our Farm Stand beginning mid April, starting with cool weather crops like lettuce, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, and other greens. We will add our warm weather crops, like tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, beginning in May, through the end of the month or while supplies last. Stay tuned for other updates, like pre-ordering and more!

✨ Caramel season ✨

As the gardening season winds down, we’ve moved into full swing caramel season, a tradition we’ve had since 2012! We proudly use butter in every batch and pair our base recipe with farmer- and locally-sourced ingredients for our collection of caramels!

We’ll be making small batch caramels through the holidays, and you can find them on our farmstand through Christmas and on our website through Valentine’s Day!

We had our first frost overnight, and there’s another in the forecast for tonight. Most of our plants are still holding on, but this is the time of year that we start to wind down in the garden and shift our farmstand to a little holiday gift shop!

For our community beyond Omaha, we also stock our online shoppe with loads of farmer-sourced goods and we ship across the country 💌

It feels like the perfect end of the season, curating a charming selection of farmer goods, homemade products like caramels and herb salts, and special little gifts to give. Simple things for special days ❤️

〰️ the Natural Fiber Market 〰️

This past weekend, we co-hosted our first ever Natural Fiber Market with and it was such a success! As with every event, we host, I never seem to snap enough pictures but here are some highlights of a lovely day. I wish I had my camera at the ready when one of our chickens was strolling through the market alongside the other market goers!

One of my favorite things about living at this place, is envisioning the way the space is used, and how our community flows through it. Our other events tend to be more centered on our yard space, but for this market, we were all nestled under the trees along our driveway and it seemed to fit just perfectly in its own unique way.

A special thank you to everyone who showed up and supported local businesses and to all of our vendors:

Stayed tuned for more - We’re hoping to host a spring market too!
