I'm Natalie - a Certified Pollinator Steward, Citizen Scientist, and nature-lover on a mission to build thriving habitats across Wisconsin. As the Owner of Hippie Homestead LLC, I share practical, hands-on inspiration for living in rhythm with nature through sustainable gardening, native plant restoration, and eco-friendly homesteading. Beyond the homestead, I serve as the Founder and Director of Patchwork Pathways WI, a community initiative dedicated to mapping and creating continuous native pollinator corridors. I also manage the Corridor Seed Station - Monarch Flyway Hub, Wisconsin's first milkweed pod collection hub that directly supports local harvesters to expand the vital flyways our native species need to survive.
