What are we leaving behind in our race towards progress?
We have more convenience and comfort than ever before, so why does something feel off?
…But it doesn’t have to be this way.
The past holds the key to finding ourselves
But that doesn’t mean we need to start reenacting history or living without electricity.
Living an old-fashioned on purpose life is an awakening…
A remembering…
A returning to what matters…
And it’s available to everyone.

“I have long-admired Jill Winger’s ability to think for herself, question the status quo, and live a life that is unconventional. Old Fashioned on Purpose details how she bravely stepped off the well-worn path and offers a road map for others seeking to live a more authentic and fulfilling life. This book will inspire you to reconsider how you’re spending your days and help you reconnect with what matters most.”

“It’s easy to see that our lives are clearly much easier today than they were a hundred or more years ago, but I don’t believe that they are better. We can all feel that something, actually many things, are missing and though most of the time, we struggle to put our finger on it, Jill and her book, has struck a deep nerve in me, as I believe it will in others too.”

Hey. I’m Nichole Sheley
Hi, I’m Nichole Sheley—an agriculture communications student, a daughter of Christ, and a proud Illinois farm girl at heart. Born and raised in the rich farmlands of Central Illinois, I’ve since planted roots in the quiet countryside of West Central Illinois. Here, the pace is slower, the air is sweeter, and life feels a little more grounded.
At Broken P Ranch, we believe in honoring the seasons, living simply, and finding beauty in the everyday. For over 20 years, I’ve been on a journey of natural living. This began when I started researching how to clean up our home and eliminate toxins. That shift opened the door to reevaluating our diet and lifestyle. What I found wasn’t easy to swallow. The Standard American Diet and a fast-paced way of life had taken a toll on my health, leading to decades-long battles with autoimmune disease.
