About this listen

"In a world where so many of us are craving a life of simplicity and meaning, Old-Fashioned on Purpose gives you the roadmap to rediscovering what really matters." —Hal Elrod, bestselling author of The Miracle Morning

With a foreword from singer, songwriter, and New York Times bestselling author Rory Feek

Creator of The Prairie Homestead blog and the Old-Fashioned On Purpose podcast Jill Winger reveals that the secrets to finding happiness today is by turning to the lost arts of the past

When the pandemic hit in 2020, flour and vegetable seeds flew off the shelves. But homesteader and entrepreneur Jill Winger believes these longings for sourdough bread and fresh veggies are more than a trend.

As our society races toward progress, we’ve left something important behind. We are more connected than ever before, yet we’re still feeling unfulfilled. In Old-Fashioned on Purpose, Winger shows how simplifying our lives and adopting retro skills such as gardening and handiwork can be the key to creating the happy and healthy life we’re yearning for. In this book, listeners will learn:

  • How to find joy in the kitchen (even if you hate to cook)
  • Proven strategies for growing your own groceries
  • The surprising stress-relievers that can be found in your backyard
  • How to craft a more grounded routine and save money in the process
  • Clever tips and creative DIYs to help you embark on your old-fashioned journey

You don’t have to live on a farm to cultivate a simpler life. This inspiring and practical book offers a powerful new sense of purpose, with plenty of tomatoes, chickens, and bread making along the way.

Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

10/10 recommend

Just as the title states, Old-fashioned on Purpose, the author does a great job sharing what she has learned and the why and builds confidence that yes it’s hard but anyone can do this! Thank you for this book! I will listen to again and also be buying a hard copy of the book.

Great Read

I enjoyed this book as did my children. It had a lot of good information as well as a story to go with it. I love how Jill tells you her experiences and doesn’t just give references from other books. Homesteading is a life experience she makes you really want to dive in!
