Seasonal ritual boxes + farmstand essentials, made simple.

Welcome, I’m Stacey

building a mini homestead, one season at a time.

Here is where I document my process honestly. The planning, the trial and error, the small wins, and the quiet rhythms that come with tending something over time. It’s part journal, part shop, and part ongoing build.

Along the way, I create and curate thoughtful bundles and boxes inspired by what I actually use — designed to support cozy, grounded living without the pressure to do everything at once. This is a space for learning in public, moving at a human pace, and building something that lasts.

Practical farmstand bundles, curated finds, and small-batch goods for women creating a life close to the soil.

From egg packaging essentials to cozy kitchen tools, explore what I use to build my mini homestead — one season at a time.

Behind the Brand

not quite a farm, still building.

I’m Stacey — backyard chicken keeper, butter experimenter, and the woman behind Not A Farm Girl.

I’m building a small, intentional homestead in Ontario and sharing the tools, bundles, and systems that make it feel organized instead of overwhelming.

Everything here is practical. Useful. Built slowly.

Black Girl Care

country edition

A quiet corner of this site dedicated to care, rest, and grounding — rooted in rural living and shaped by my experience as a Black woman creating a mini-homestead.

This shows up through the things I make, the way I build systems, and the rhythms I choose — from garden days to seasonal ritual care boxes designed with softness and intention in mind.
