About Field & Home
Field & Home Journal is for anyone drawn back to a slower way of living — essays, field notes, conversations with craftsmen, wild-caught, home-cooked recipes, and photography, all built around the sporting life: the people and places that keep us connected to community and to the wild places around us.
Every Friday, free subscribers get Friday Field Notes in their inbox — part essay, part what I’m cooking, part what’s on the calendar. Once a month, paid subscribers also get The Monthly Dispatch — a longer, more personal piece than the weekly format allows, plus seasonal recipes and what’s relevant in the field that time of year.
What you'll find here
Field — notes from days with the bird dogs, flats fishing, and campfire meals that carry timeless outdoor traditions, plus profiles of the makers and artisans whose craft is shaped by land and water.
Food — wild-caught, home-cooked meals and the traditions that gather us around tables, fires, and open air.
Home — reflections on sporting-refined interiors, natural materials, fireside living, and spaces shaped to be lived in well over time, plus The Field & Home Edit, an ongoing curation of the pieces that earn their place in both the field and the house.
And running through all three: The Sporting Club Podcast — conversations with craftsmen, artists, and outdoorsmen living at the intersection of field and home.
As seasons pass, this collection is meant to document the enduring values and spirit of the American outdoorsman — a legacy that ages soulfully with time.
Join the Field & Home Journal
Field & Home is written to be read slowly and returned to often. Many of the essays, notes, and conversations will always be free.
The guides, the podcast, the deeper pieces — none of that fits into a Friday note without rushing it, and I want the room to do it right instead of squeezing it in. That’s what a paid subscription opens up: Quarterly Field Guides, The Monthly Dispatch, The Sporting Club Podcast, The Field & Home Edit, and the entire searchable archive — for $5/month or $50/year.
Paid readers are simply those who want to go a little deeper and help keep the journal going.

About the Author
Field & Home Journal is written by Kait Dobbins — a visual storyteller, photographer, and marketer drawn, time and again, to wild places and the lives shaped by them. Formed along the Florida coast, shaped in the marshes of the Lowcountry, and now settling into the Texas Hill Country, her work reflects a simple belief: that the way we move through the outdoors should inform the way we live at home.
She writes alongside her husband Hayden and their three bird dogs, with a deep respect for craftsmanship, stewardship, and the quiet, daily rituals that give a life its texture and meaning.
