Hi friends, I'm Caitlin from Homegrown Hopes Welcome to my little corner of the web where I share everything from farm life and gardening, to scratch cooking and homeschooling, with a good dose of sarcasm and trial and error thrown in. This is Homegrown 𝘏𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘴, after all. I will never claim to have it all figured out, but I'll take you along on the journey as I learn.
