Welcome to the porch light blog
The porch light has always meant one thing in Appalachia—you’re welcome here. It means someone’s home, the coffee might be on, and there’s time to sit a spell and share stories. Sometimes, it leads you through the foggy dark.
Latest From The Porch
Every visit to the porch, there’s something different to gab about. You never run out of things to ponder on in Appalachia. Some weeks we’ll wander old mountain roads through forgotten history. Other days we’ll sit with folklore, folk magic, music, recipes, nature, or the people—even some of my own kin—who have kept these traditions alive. Every visit, you’ll leave with something to tuck away in your back pocket and carry home with you. So pull up a chair and stay a spell.
