5DF is a place where mason jars replace plastic baggies and a porch with friends and family replaces a cell phone. Where a mistake isn’t looked at as a failure, it’s considered a good path to learning.
Our thought is that a simpler life is a better life. Simple doesn’t necessarily mean laid back. It means living a more authentic lifestyle as our grandparents and great grandparents did.
We believe in living intentionally and sustainably. These aren’t just trendy phrases for us. They are adjectives for living a more natural and healthy life. We believe a Rustic Revival™ is taking place. It’s a nod to the past and a handshake with the future. We believe you don’t have to live on acreage, want to farm or even like to garden. Living an authentic lifestyle may involve one or all or those things or it may involve none of them.
Simplify, cook more with local ingredients, support a mom and pop shop or just shut off the noise of electronics for a bit… these small changes can help to begin your own Rustic Revival™.
We believe a simple, authentic life is o.k. In fact, for us, … it’s desired.

Let’s take a walk.
