Description
Everything You Need to Keep Your Homestead Thriving in 2026
The 2026 Old-Fashioned on Purpose Planner is packed with tools to simplify your days and amplify your homesteading dreams. Here’s what makes it the ultimate organizer for your old-fashioned lifestyle:
Tabbed Monthly & Weekly Spreads with Hourly Slots: Navigate your year with ease using new monthly tabs and detailed weekly spreads (6 a.m.–10 p.m.).
Food Production Trackers (New for 2025, Enhanced for 2026): Track dairy, meat, eggs, fruits, and veggies with dedicated logs to celebrate your homestead’s bounty.
Garden Planning & Seed Inventory Pages: Sketch your garden layout on grid pages and track seed varieties, planting dates, and crop performance. Never forget what worked (or didn’t) again.
Recipe Repertoire & Meal Planning Sections: Jot down go-to recipes and plan daily meals (breakfast, lunch, supper) to avoid the “what’s for dinner?” panic.
Annual Goal Tracker & Word of the Year Page: Set your big targets … personal, homestead, or business … and break them into actionable steps.
Habit Tracker for Daily Wins: Monitor habits like watering the garden, feeding your sourdough starter, or walking miles on your treadmill desk.
Durable Design & Compact Size (7.5″ x 9.75″): With a sturdy PVC cover, thicker bleed-proof paper, and lay-flat spiral binding, this 330+ page planner is built to withstand your busy homestead life.
By partnering with Amazon for ordering and delivery, we’re able to keep your total cost including shipping about $20 USD lower than if we shipped directly from our warehouse. The partnership also helps ensure your planner is delivered smoothly and on time, even during the busy holiday shipping season.
If you have any questions about shipping or returns for your order, Amazon’s customer service team will have the most up-to-date information and will be happy to help.
Thank you so much for your patience while we worked behind the scenes to create the best solution for our Canadian customers. We truly appreciate you!

I was looking for a planner that could accommodate everything in my life, finances to garden planning. This one is perfect, loving it.

I love this calendar! I was skeptical because I found out about it from FB and there are so many scams there. I was sure to use paypal as a level of security…. and I couldn’t be happier!!! I am using every space of it. I’d love an herbal section, but there are pages in the back for just that sort of specialty thing you do. It’s better than I could have imagined.

This planner is the only planner that holds my attention for the entire year! I tend to get more things done because I’m excited to check off the to-do lists and habit tracker. I highly recommend this planner. I do agree with one reviewer stating that they wish there was a folder to hold receipts, etc but I made a makeshift folder on the inner back flap. Thank you!

Happy and blessed New a year! I have journaled for years trying to organize gardening, homesteading and family and friends.
This journal, by far, has increased my focus, awareness and skill set in journaling.
As I near my 74th year, I am grateful and genuinely tickled with your journal.
Great investment for all!
Thank you ever so much.

It is a great planner with lots of space for planning home projects as well as nice weekly layouts! It has structure but still room for freedom. The one thing I would love to see change next year is a hardcover because the cover is already partway torn off and won’t last much longer. But its a great planner, it just needs a more durable cover.

This is my first year using the planner, so I’m still working on it, but I LOVE it. I live by notes/lists and there’s plenty of room for those. There will be parts I don’t use, like for livestock, but other more expensive planners don’t have room for meal planning/pantry inventory/gardening! It’s so satisfying, inside and out.

2026 is my first year w/this planner. TBH, I have never followed thru w/a planner for an entire year. I’m def going to give this one a try being a new homesteader. I love how there are setups that can be for each of us to use as we see fit vs everything being completed for us to fill in (or not use at all).
I’d like the tabs to be sturdier though. I didn’t have my planner out five minutes and already bent a bunch of them. (can’t have nothin nice ;-D) lol

As a 74-yo urban homesteader, I am thrilled to try this planner for 2026. After a deep dive notating important birthdays on the monthly calendars, I am already delighted! I do wish, however, that a few pocket pages were included to corral incidental items like coupons, invitations, etc.

Highly recommend this planner. I’ve tried several over the years but this one is different. The attention to detail and ability to forecast, track, and just keep my sanity as a beginner homesteader makes this planner a “must purchase”. I will be buying one again next year.

I love the concept, and look forward to a fresh start with everything organized in one place! I admit, it feels a bit daunting, but I’ll give it the ‘old college try’! One downside for me is the bulk and weight – not an easy carry for my weekly overnights with Mom and kids/grandchildren😒

This planner is the best at managing homestead, household and work tasks all in one place. The customer service is also great!

This is my second year buying this planner. I love the content. My only wish is that it were a little sturdier. I buy a second planner to throw in my bag when I head out so I don’t damage this one. Love having Jill along for the organization of my growing and preserving.

Excellent— I used in 2024 and just got my 2026 version. Makes a great source of info, an encyclopedia of the past year. Like the accounting sections and also it’s flexible enough that I can repurpose all sections (e.g. livestock is now catstock!)…it’s great to have one place to put all my important info for the year— with plenty of room for notes and reflections on what I want to change up and keep the sane.

Love this planner!! So thoughtfully designed. Everything you need to keep track of daily, weekly and monthly tasks, plus a place to keep track of what you’ve planted and what you’ve harvested. I play an accountant in real life, and just garden and keep chickens for fun, but with this planner I can easily keep track of the cost of my inputs and value of the outputs.

Absolutely love this planner! I got my first one for this year (2025) and just got the 2026 one in the mail. I love it bc I can keep all my gardening notes in it and it’s an hourly and daily planner, which I love. If you are considering this, get it! You won’t be disappointed!

This is my second year using this planner. I love the planning sections for each month. The pantry inventory and garden section is so helpful and keeps all the information for home keeping easily accessible. Highly recommend!

This is my third time using this planner. There’s a lot I really like about it. It’s helped me get organized better as I’ve stepped into motherhood these last few years. Love the grid sheets at the back. I photocopy a few extra and use them for garden planning. And the seed inventory area is another one I use a lot. Hoping to branch out more into the kitchen section this year. I feel like this planner helps me strengthen my organizational skills rather than just being a space to write it all down. It teaches long lasting organizational skills. Anyway, highly recommend!

My fourth year with this planner, and I still love it. Such a great planning tool because there are multiple pages for each month that you can design for your own goals, plus extra sections to do specific planning for kitchen, garden, and farm (I renamed that last one for my own personal projects). FYI – my planner gets beaten up a bit from use, so this year I found tab protectors. Here’s the link – https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09YTYHVST?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1
