LEEFIELD AND CO: Natural living and homesteading lifestyle, gardening, DIY and photography
ELEVATED LIVING, ROOTED IN NATURE
We invite you to follow along as we share our love of nature, photography, gardening, DIY, food & the simple joys of homesteading from our ten-acre property in southern Ontario.
Cultivating a creative life rooted in nature, and lived with balance, beauty and joy.
Welcome to Leefield and Co., where everyday living meets timeless elegance. Inspired by life on our ten-acre homestead, this is a place to discover food and recipes that are simple yet beautifully styled, gardening advice rooted in the rhythms of the seasons, and home projects that bring refined charm to daily life.
Every article, photo, and tutorial is inspired by our own experience - whether it’s lavender lemonade made with flowers harvested from the garden, a DIY project built in the workshop, or a photography tip tested in the studio. We believe beauty is best when it’s approachable, and we’re here to help you create a home and lifestyle that feels both elevated and attainable.

About Leefield
I'm Alana. Welcome to Leefield and Co. If you love all things simple yet elevated, you're in good company. We designed and built our home on 10 acres in the Northumberland countryside in 2017 and have been slowly turning what was once an empty field into our small rural homestead. Follow along as I share inspiration and resources on topics I love, including:

Our Favorite Things
Living in the rural countryside, we often rely on online shopping (it saves time and gas money that would otherwise be spent heading into town for what we need). We also use a lot of online resources. Visit our recommended tools and resources page to learn more about the products and services we love and recommend.
