Welcome to The Tools We Use — a curated collection of the gear I use, trust, and recommend for real everyday living. From essential kitchen tools to outdoor equipment, homestead helpers, camera gear, and even a few of Tess' favorites, everything here has earned its place through hands‑on use. This page brings together reliable, practical items that make cooking, creating, outdoor and home life easier, whether you’re in the kitchen, out on the land, or capturing the moments in between.

The links on this page are affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission if you choose to purchase through them — at no extra cost to you. Your support helps begin building and growing our homestead and supports all the work that goes into Fire, Iron and Spice. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being part of this journey.
