Welcome to Nestled in the Trees!
After years of dreaming and contemplating, my husband along with our two young kids and small dog decided to take the plunge and leave the city behind for a very different and rural lifestyle. So this family from the city who knows absolutely nothing about rural life are making the move anyway. We are passionate about nature, good organic food and overall simple living.
This blog will follow our journey as we will learn how to live more sustainably, grow our own food and overall become more self-sufficient. Please sign up to come along on our journey and get an email when a new blog is published. We look forward to seeing you there!
