about the book
Even though technology makes us more “connected” than ever, we still hunger for authentic relationships—with the natural world, our Creator, and one another. But how do we find them, especially when we’ve lost touch with many of the foundational rhythms that draw us together?
The Kindred Life is a rallying cry for real connection in a time when we need to recapture what's been lost. In this collection of stories, photos, and recipes from her home on Kindred Farm in Santa Fe, Tennessee, sustainable farmer Christine Bailey shares both the beautiful and gritty moments as she grew from a hopeful urban gardener to co-owner of a farm full of produce, bees, chickens, and flowers that provides meaningful experiences for friends, family, and hundreds of guests each year.
Kindred means “tribe” or “family,” and at the center of The Kindred Life is an invitation to pursue the experiences that unite us, like spending time in the dirt, slowing down, and joining in a simple meal under the stars. We were all created with the ability to carve out a life of connection, and it's worth every bit of sweat it takes to get there.
