Hey there!
I'm Stephinie, mama to four grown humans, partner to Joe, gardener, herbalist, and folk artist.
For three decades, the salty ocean air was my home. I'm certain a bit of Selkie blood runs through my veins. Still, my long-time old lady dreams involved a cottage in the woods surrounded by flowers and chickens and hours spent making + tending.
Sweetbrier Farmstead is a maker studio, nature retreat + homestead tucked into a beautiful forest setting in upstate, NY. Named after the ship my love was stationed on when we met in the tiny town of Cordova, Alaska - the USCGC Sweetbrier. Our dream is to slowly build spaces here on the farm for folks to visit, create, and connect with nature.
Both makers, you can find an ever-changing collection of our handmade goods in our little online shop. I hope to connect with you on the farm journal pages where I ramble on about gardening, rural living, and the second half of life.
Big love~
Stephinie
