Meet the Rooted in the Middle Snail Mail Club.

Once a month, we choose a theme and create a little collection around it, inspired by the stories, people, places and seasons that shape our lives here in the middle of the Midwest.

Inside you might find an original story, photographs, a recipe card, artwork, a sticker, something to make or keep and a few surprises along the way.

It's part letter. Part story. Part art.

Part reminder to slow down for a minute and enjoy something made by real people.

The Rooted Mail Club
$13.00 every month

Each month we create a thoughtful collection of printed items that include an original story, photograph, art, maybe a recipe card, postcard, and a few surprises along the way.

It’s more than mail. It’s a reminder to slow down, feel connected and find beauty in everyday.
