Candid Photos of Martha Stewart at Home in 1976

These candid shots by Susan Wood captured the media mogul gardening, collecting eggs, herding geese and cooking at the 1805 farmhouse on Turkey Hill Road that she shared with her then-husband Andrew Stewart in Westport, Connecticut in August 1976.

“Years ago at Turkey Hill, I raised these beautiful gray geese from eggs,” Martha recalled. “They were interesting and taught me a lot. They, and the chickens and turkeys I nurtured, infused in me a love of sustainable, organic, and carefully raised poultry and eggs. Today on my farm in Bedford, I have geese from five different countries, and they continue to do the same.”
