The Kindred Life

In the modern era, we’re paradoxically more connected than ever, yet feel a deep hunger for authentic connection--to the natural world, our Creator, and one another. Social media has lost its newness, and people are realizing that striving for likes and comments doesn’t fill a hole that can only be filled with genuine human experiences.

Kindred means “tribe” or “family,” and at a time when we’ve lost many of the rhythms that connect us meaningfully to the human experience, The Kindred Life offers an invitation to cultivate a life of rich simplicity in the midst of difficult circumstances.

In this collection of stories, photos, recipes, and gathering ideas from her home on Kindred Farm in Santa Fe, Tennessee, organic farmer Christine Bailey shares the moments that have shaped, challenged, and changed her.

Through the lens of her farming journey, Christine shares how she learned to push through and find beauty in the midst of life’s uncertainties. Follow along on the pages within and be inspired to join her in cultivating a life of simplicity, freedom, and adventure. Be equipped to unearth your very own Kindred Life--right where you are.
