If you are anything like me, you want to have affordable, good quality, chemical-free produce, and know what is in the food you feed to your family. You want to eat food that tastes like real food.
You want to get your family outside, in the fresh air, connecting with nature (instead of the wifi)! You want to show your kids where their food comes from.
You want a more mindful, productive lifestyle, that fits with the time, energy and resources you have.
Let me show you how to start with herbs, to learn the skills and confidence to start an edible garden, and start growing some of your own food.
Or give you some tools to design and plan your own urban homestead, with vege and herb garden beds, chickens, bees, fruit trees + more.
Maybe you already grow and raise some of your own food, and with a hungry tribe to feed, you need convenient, family friendly recipes, plus help with meal planning and reducing waste.
You also want to learn how to preserve your fresh produce, to make the most of the seasonal abundance, and to make meal time easier.
GROW
Edible gardening using natural, low-tox methods, raising seedlings, seed saving, composting + harvesting
RAISE
Getting and keeping chickens + bees in your backyard, plus worm farming (+ kids in the garden, does that count?)
COOK
Seasonal cooking from the garden, using your harvests and preserved food to create healthy family meals, + meal planning/ prep
PRESERVE
Preserve and store your harvests (& local food) using freezing, bottling, dehydrating + lacto-fermenting
Sow some seeds, plant a fruit tree, visit a farmer’s market. Cook a meal with real food that was in the ground (or on a tree) not that long ago. Eat it with your loved ones. Eat kale, or don’t. Share your abundance.
Build your community, feed your tribe, connect with your neighbours. Give stuff away, swap some seeds, or jars of pickles. Leave a bag of zucchinis on your neighbour’s doorstep. Build an outdoor sink. Teach your kids how to care for chickens.
Declutter your house. Release stuff you don’t need. Give it away, recycle it. Ditch the toxins. Make your own citrus cleaner. Give handmade gifts. Eat homemade food. Have time for the important stuff. Feel the joy of picking your first tomato of the season!
This is what my family and I have been doing for many years. Now I want to teach and inspire you!
Whether you want to grow a few supplemental herbs and learn how to make the most of your seasonal market hauls. Or you want to fill your backyard with chickens, bees, a mini orchard, and learn skills like composting, preserving and seasonal meal planning.
I can teach you and your family how to start your own adventure, and improve your wellbeing and lives!
