This is your opportunity for a signed first edition copy of Hunter Moon Homestead; A Nourishing Memoir. This beautiful linen bound hardcover book is an extension of author Kate Poole's mindful philosophy—a collection of recipes, stories, and images that weave together food, memory, and the land. It’s about what happens when you slow down enough to notice the striations of color in a prism, to save the seed from last year’s tomatoes, to transform a mouse-infested farmhouse into a home where beauty and nourishment are offered lavishly, from the heart.
Kate’s life has been a journey of creating beauty from the ground up. For over four decades, she and her husband Rick worked as a design/build team, crafting hundreds of residences and commercial spaces with an eye for honoring the original design, with modern sensibility. But it was their move to Hunter Moon Homestead that allowed Kate to fully embrace her twin passions: cultivating the land and feeding the soul.
The 1903 farmhouse they purchased had barely changed over the decades—no insulation, an ancient wasp-riddled roof, rooms overtaken by mice and time. Yet beneath the decay, Kate saw old bones worth saving. Alongside Rick, she’s been restoring every room with tenderness, just as she tends the soil in her gardens. She grows medicinal herbs for her skincare line, Essential Apothecary Alchemist, and cultivates heirloom vegetables that grace the farm-to-table dinners she prepares for guests at their art and writing retreats.
Kate has kept a journal her entire life, and her writing captures those quiet spaces between moments—the way light falls across a kitchen table, the scent of herbs drying in the potting shed, the taste of food grown from seed she’s saved and planted with her own hands. She writes about compassion, about paying attention to the things we overlook, about the small rituals that anchor us to the earth and to each other.
140+ recipes for appetizers, salads, vegetables, entrees, desserts, baked goods, natural cleaning products and more.

About The Author:
Kate Poole is a visual artist, painter, and hospitality provider who believes that nourishment—whether through food, art, or the natural world—is an act of love. She is the co-creator of Hunter Moon Homestead, a 23-acre creative sanctuary nestled in the rolling hills of Idaho’s Palouse, where she and her husband Rick have spent years restoring a turn-of-the-century farmstead into a place of refuge and inspiration.
She lives at Hunter Moon Homestead with Rick, their dog Jasper, botanical and vegetable gardens, and the ever-changing pageant of birds on the pond. She is currently at work on her food memoir and continues to paint, create, and welcome guests to their corner of the Palouse, where the sky stretches 360 degrees and the quiet of nature reminds us all to breathe.
