Over the past few years, Blue Gypsy Homestead has grown from an idea into a lifestyle, a business, a community, and a place where I can share both the victories and the inevitable misadventures that come with homestead life. Along the way, one phrase kept coming back to me:

“No shortcuts, no sugar coating, just honest homestead life.”

That simple statement captures everything I try to share here. The successes. The mistakes. The projects that work exactly as planned and the ones that most definitely do not. It reflects the belief that there is value in being honest about the journey rather than pretending everything is always picture perfect.

With that in mind, I’m excited to announce that this design will soon be available as an official Blue Gypsy Homestead t-shirt.

The shirt features the Blue Gypsy Homestead tree logo in a vintage distressed style, printed in white on a classic blue t-shirt. The design is simple, clean, and unmistakably homestead-focused—something you can wear at the farmers’ market, around the farm, in the workshop, or anywhere you want to show your support for honest, practical living.

One thing that’s important to me is keeping the price reasonable. I’m still working out the final pricing, but my goal is straightforward: make these shirts affordable without sacrificing quality.

To help achieve that, I’ll be producing them in-house. By handling the printing myself, I can avoid many of the markups associated with third-party print services and pass those savings directly on to you. It also gives me far more flexibility when it comes to customization and special requests.

Initially, I’ll be stocking Large (L) and Extra Large (XL) sizes as standard inventory. However, one of the advantages of printing in-house is that I’m not limited to only a few sizes. If you need a different size, simply let me know and I’ll do my best to accommodate your request.

The standard shirt colour will be the classic Blue Gypsy Homestead blue shown in the design preview. That said, other shirt colours may also be available upon request. Depending on the cost of sourcing the base shirt, alternate colours may carry a small additional charge, but I’ll always keep pricing as fair as possible.

As for delivery:

✅ Local pickup is free
✅ Local delivery is free
✅ World-wide shipping is available at actual cost — no inflated handling fees or hidden charges

As always, I appreciate every person who follows the blog, watches the videos, visits the farmers’ market booth, shops the online store, or simply takes the time to read about life on the homestead.

This shirt is more than merchandise. It’s a reflection of what Blue Gypsy Homestead stands for:

No shortcuts, no sugar coating, just honest homestead life.

Stay tuned for pricing, ordering information, and availability updates coming soon.
