about Folklyfe
Folklyfe is a web series which focuses on early American heritage and folk culture, and how it can be translated into a modern lifestyle. The program follows Nichole Gerding, 18th Century Food Historian, Domestic Skills Interpreter, and Proprietress of Thankful Sage Farm School. In each episode, Nichole and her family highlight a heritage skill or tradition (blacksmithing, bread making, etc.) by giving a brief history, seeking out masters and makers of said skill (when appropriate), and demonstrating how to integrate some aspect of it into everyday life.
Folklyfe’s mission is to identify and educate about heritage skills and forgotten arts for viewers to use towards a simplified lifestyle with historic underpinnings.
