Ready to Easily Plan and Manage 2026?

The 2026 Old-Fashioned on Purpose Planner is here to help you juggle the beautiful chaos of your old-fashioned life. Designed by a homesteader (our great friend Jill Winger) for homesteaders, this isn’t just a planner … it’s your partner in turning big dreams into reality, one checked-off task at a time.

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 (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.

What readers are saying about the Old-Fashioned on Purpose Planner …

“I love this planner, I have already entered all the information about seeds I ordered/projects I need to get completed this year, pantry items, important deadlines. It is so useful and I can’t imagine life without it. I love the brain dump so I can sleep at night!”

“I ordered the planner a few weeks ago and really love it, it’s been the best planner I’ve ever used to run our farm and household. Thanks so much!”

— Amanda S.

“Thank you for your marvelous homestead planner – this year’s and last year. I am sure it will be chock-full of both the everyday and so much more. I really appreciate the design, the thoughtfulness and the wisdom that went into these journals, and wanted say thank you for your hard work. It makes keeping track of the chaos simpler.”

— Judi C.

“Thanks for providing one space that helps organize all of our daily information! I used to have to carry 3(+) separate calendar/journal/notebooks. This planner is an inspiration and total game changer!”

“Thank you:)) I appreciate the time and attention to detail! It is hard to find a planner that has what I want and not what I don’t need- while I don’t need the livestock part, I use it for other stuff (I am a teacher, so it gets a lot of my ‘school’ stuff noted down there), I do love the garden, cooking, and daily life stuff- so many planners aren’t functional for all of those categories of my life.”

“The new planner arrived in the mail and it was beautifully packaged, arrived in perfect condition, and it is incredible! Love the cover art and feel of the cover itself. The tabs are perfect and greatly appreciated. This planner is a beast and I will enjoy it for all of 2025.”
