Welcome to Aberle Home!

I’m Leanna Aberle, founder of the blog. Much like you, I value an intentional, healthful, and beautiful home.

I’m here to teach you how to bake your own sourdough bread, ferment foods, mill and bake with nutrient-dense home ground flour, and more.

I love sharing simple step-by-step recipes and helpful resources, and occasionally you’ll see posts for keeping chickens, homeschooling, or even crafts and gifts and recipes for the holidays.

Please subscribe to my email newsletter and my social channels so we can stay connected. I would love to hear from you and see what you’re making from my site!

More About Leanna

I live with my husband and four homeschooled daughters in our 1970s Colorado mountain home (on a half-acre property) with our laying hens and our silly orange tabby cat.

Sourdough and fermented foods have been my gateway into a “crunchier” lifestyle that has progressed over time.

Though we aren’t perfect, our family avoids eating artificial ingredients, seed oils, and refined sugars. We prefer to eat whole foods including whole and properly prepared grains.

In consequence, we mill our own flour at home, prep many staple foods in the pressure cooker, buy organic foods in bulk to save money, and make most of what we eat from scratch!

I’ve been blogging here since October of 2019 to make this lifestyle, sourdough baking, and baking with freshly milled grains to be approachable and accessible to anyone who desires to learn. I love to create recipes that you and your family will enjoy eating!

I hope this space glorifies the Lord who made all of these beautiful things that we get to pursue and enjoy in our homes.

I’m so excited to learn and grow and be inspired together.
