From Loft to Croft
For the past several years, we’ve been learning to live more self-sufficiently in our downtown loft—baking from scratch, making natural products, and finding ways to rely less on the store and more on nature. Then, we were blessed to find our next big step in our journey—an old horse farm we now call Clarke Croft. As we build, our focus is on creating a modern homestead where old-world skills meet new-world living—figuring out how to live a little more like our great-grandmothers (but with WiFi).
We believe self-sufficiency is achievable for everyone—whether you’re in an apartment, a suburb, or on a few acres. It’s about slowing down, living intentionally, and making small, meaningful changes that add up. From homemade sourdough and all-natural DIY products to small-batch goods and farm provisions, Clarke Croft is about finding a healthier, more sustainable way of life.
Follow along as Clarke Croft grows from a dream into a fully working homestead. And yes, we will have all the animals!

Making your own sourdough starter feels like a science experiment and a little kitchen magic rolled into one. With just flour and water, you can grow a bubbly, living culture that becomes the heart of every loaf.
