Welcome to The Rustic Elk
You’ve outgrown the Pinterest-perfect pantry and the farmhouse cosplay.
Here, we make salves and squirrel stew. We ferment things on purpose. We keep bones, burn herbs, and plant seeds by the moon.
This is feral kitchen magic, wildcrafted remedy, and the slow rebellion of remembering who the you are.

Welcome to The Rustic Elk
I'm Danielle - wife, mom, and fully done with purity culture, homestead cosplay, and the fear-mongering that’s infected seasonal living.
You won’t find farmhouse cosplay here. This is for women who crave grounded rhythm, ancestral skills, and kitchen magick that actually works.
Whether you're planting by the moon or pressure-canning bone broth.
If you’ve ever felt too wild for modern wellness and too witchy for homesteading forums... you’re in the right place.
