Behind Homemade Harvest

Hello and welcome to my blog! My name is Sarah and I am based in central PA. I started this as a way to share some of my favorite family recipes that have been passed down over the years and some recipes of my own. The outdoors has always been a big part of my life as I have been an avid hunter for nearly 15 years. I also enjoy playing with my cats, gardening, and knitting.  Thank you for visiting 😊
