Hello, I’m Caitlin, also known as, The Humble Farmgirl. Allow me to give you a warm welcome! I love sharing nourishing recipes, inspiration for timeless old-fashioned skills, and what I am learning in my life as a farmgirl on Humble Farm.
About Me
Some people tell me I was born an “old soul” and I would have to agree. I live with my family on our beautiful Humble Farm in Waco, Texas where we embrace the simple life and traditional values. As the oldest of eight children, my life is full of daily adventures, and I embrace every moment!
Humble Beginnings
I was raised in the beautiful small town of Waxahachie, Texas, a quaint community with a rich heritage.
From the time I was little, the simplistic beauty of country life enamored me. I was the one in the schoolyard who, while others played tag, imagined I was Laura Ingalls venturing across the prairie. I remember, as a wide-eyed little girl, listening to stories of my ancestors living the farm life. To me, those stories were nothing short of a fairy tale.
As a romantic at heart, it has always been the old-fashioned and simple moments that bring a smile to my face. I am always ready for a meandering road trip, especially with a picnic basket in hand. If you crave a cup of tea and a heart-to-heart chat, I’m your girl!
Humble Farm Life
I absolutely treasured life in our precious small town, however God began to reveal that He had other plans. His plan led us to sell our home in search of a farm. Of course, I was disappointed to leave that life behind, but God helped me to see that this was the life He had created for me. As always, His plan is far more beautiful than any of us could ever dream.

In the Kitchen
When I was thirteen, I learned to cook using the Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook and fell in love with bringing people together over delicious nourishing food. My journey with this lifegiving way of eating blossomed into something I never imagined. The Lord blessed that experience and, as soon as I turned eighteen, I became a certified Trim Healthy Mama Coach. I enjoy creating recipes that are just as delicious as they are nourishing. You can find a list of my favorite recipe creations here. Check out my new cookbook here!
When it comes to food, I am definitely what you would call a purist. Between kefir, sourdough, apple cider vinegar, and more, you can always find a few crocks fermenting on my countertop! Sourdough is a family staple and has become a favorite hobby of mine.
A Few Things to Know About Me
I am a lover of teatime! I have lost count of the number of tea parties I have hosted. Never have I turned down the opportunity to sit with family and friends over tea and a delicious treat! I have actually always dreamed of opening a garden tea room.
I have played guitar since I was ten years old and enjoy singing and making music with friends and family.
My sister and I have spent five and a half months as interns (Ruby Girls) for the Above Rubies ministry! We made so many wonderful friends and experienced the power of Jesus in so many amazing ways! It is truly a life changing experience!
Roses are my favorite flowers and I am working on cultivating an English flower garden.
I have a fascination with English cottage decor and love to decorate with vintage finds.
One of my favorite pastimes is lighting a candle and curling up with a classic novel.
I once spent five days in the woods of Tennessee taking a survival training course through BSC. The presence of God was incredible!
My favorite TV show is When Calls the Heart, with the Jack days, of course! Haha! If you know, you know! Take a walk with me!
My passion is to share my love for cultivating hospitality and lifegiving food with others. Check out my Instagram page @thehumblefarmgirl for inspiration in the home and Biblical encouragement. Here, I share my recipe creations which are rooted in a healthy lifestyle and what I am learning as a daughter of the King. I hope you will join me on this journey!
