A Mama, a Mission, and a Messy Garden: The Roots of Wellspring & Wild
It didn’t start with a grand plan—just muddy boots, a basket of herbs, a crochet hook, and a calling to live a little differently. I’m Amanda: mama to eight, lover of slow mornings and fast-growing ducklings, and the heart behind Wellspring & Wild. What began as a desire to live more intentionally—growing food, making medicine, and creating with purpose—has grown into a space to share that life with others.
Wellspring & Wild is rooted in a deep love for the land, faith, and the art of doing things by hand. As a homeschooling mom and lifelong learner, my days are filled with wrangling kids, ducks, and rabbits; foraging for herbs; preserving garden harvests; and dreaming up new crochet projects. There’s a bit of chaos, a bit of mud, and a whole lot of grace and love.
This space is where I share the fruits of our homestead—handcrafted crochet goods, herbal remedies made with care, and seasonal offerings from the garden, field, and kitchen.
Wellspring & Wild isn’t just a shop. It’s a reflection of a lifestyle—rooted in faith, nourished by the wild, and shaped by a desire to live simply, creatively, and intentionally.
Why “Wellspring & Wild”?
The name speaks to both the grounded and the untamed. The wellspring reflects faith, tradition, and homegrown wisdom. The wild is the foraging, the barefoot days in the garden, the freedom, and the creative spirit that keeps it all alive.
