THE SLOW LIVING ISSUE

ORDER HERE

Life sped up way too fast. We became too reliant on the speed and technology of it all. Somewhere along the way we forgot the simple pleasures in life...the old dirt roads, the thrill of an early spring garden, the smell of fresh cut grass, the beauty of spring blooms, the melody of a singing bird. Lets slow down for a moment.

The following is a preview from FOLK’s latest issue. Please order a copy before they sell out. CLICK HERE

Rural Ohio resident Jessi Green (@small.town.junk) has established herself as a curator of storied antiques and vintage pieces. She works with clients and customers to create homes that have a story to tell.

THE LOVE FOR OLD GOODS RUNS DEEP IN ME. As far back as I can remember, I found the beauty in antiques: I would buy trinkets and vintage beaded purses as a little girl. I practically grew up at the flea market, as my parents sold new and antique military goods, and I was rolling around rummage sales in the stroller. 

At Small Town Junk my husband, Brad, and I are purveyors of antiques, avid collectors of bits and pieces of history that make homes warm and give individuals an ideal sanctuary they can retreat to.  ORDER THE ISSUE FOR THE FULL STORY

Blogger and adventure photographer Emily Mandagie sits down for a conversation about what she has learned from life on the road. CLICK HERE TO ORDER

When did you feel you were most out of your comfort zone? What did you learn from that lesson? I’m not a huge risk-taker, but sometimes when I’m pushed out of my comfort zone, it reaps the best rewards. For example, a few years ago we planned our first car camping trip, with no booked places to stay and just a really rough agenda to follow. It was really uncomfortable for me at first, to let go of the need to plan and organize. However, the spontaneity and freedom it gave me to go with the flow allowed me to be more present and in the moment, and that really shined through the photographs from that trip!

Windy Peak Vintage has the most beautiful backdrop for her homestead out west. We wanted to learn more about her way of life and love of food… CLICK HERE TO ORDER THE ISSUE

Kristi Reed of Windy Peak Vintage (@windypeakvintage) lives in the countryside of Montana 30 miles north of Yellowstone National Park with her husband and two children where they stay busy tending to their four acres of land, 20 chickens, rabbit, dog and cat.

FOOD HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PART OF MY LIFE WHEREVER I LIVED…I was born in Southern California, but I spent the majority of my childhood in Idaho Falls, Idaho where I met my husband. After college in Portland, Oregon we traveled and eventually moved to Philadelphia. Food and exploring through cooking were a part of those journeys and places. 

When we decided to move to Montana, get married and start a family, we weren’t looking to buy a home, but we stumbled upon an old farmhouse on a little bit of land—for a good price—we just couldn’t pass it up! Buying our home has changed everything about how we are able to live. Now, it’s our two children and our little homestead that fill our days…and preparing local foods and sharing our meals is an important part of that. ORDER THE ISSUE FOR FULL STORY
