About Gardner Keep
I didn't build this because I wanted to go viral. I built it because I needed out — out of the noise, the performance, the pace that never lets up. Somewhere in tending everyone else, I stopped tending myself.So I got my hands back in the soil. Started keeping bees, raising quail, working the wood shop. Not to be a "homesteader" or a "prepper" — just to be real again. This is Gardner Keep. Come as you are.
