Welcome to the Modern Frontier
By Jenny Barnett Welcome, friend—Jenny here. If you’ve found your way to this little corner of the internet, chances are you’ve got a wild h
Hey there, friend. If you’ve landed here, chances are you’re the kind that slows down for a storm cloud, keeps a few jars on the windowsill, and knows that good soup starts with a cold stove and a sharp knife.
This space, Wild West Topos, was born from the quiet in-between. Between town and timber. Between past and present. Between the way our grandmothers did things, and the way we’re learning to do them again.
Here’s what I believe:
Old ways still matter.
Health is grown, not bought.
Tools should be passed down, not thrown out.
A good story can cure a hard day.
A home should smell like broth, beeswax, or baking bread.
Nature has already written the best user manual all we have to do is listen.
Wild West Topos is here to gather and share all the things that keep us rooted:
Heirloom recipes
Frontier home remedies
Seasonal living & homestead wisdom
Product recommendations that actually work
Stories from the land (and the people who work it)
Ideas for modern frontier life (which has nothing to do with where you live)
This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being intentional. It’s about remembering what works, building what lasts, and caring deeply for your home, your people, your land, and your self.
COME ALONG If that lights a fire in you, stick around. Follow Wild West Topos here on Tumblr and over on WordPress for weekly blog posts, recipes, herbal deep-dives, tools we love, and ways to keep house like the old ways taught us.
Posts drop every Monday and Wednesday, and the first few are already simmering.
We’re just getting started. You’re welcome at the fire.
