Hi! I started our “homestead” in 2020 by installing my first ever, real vegetable garden! I took a real deep dive into the best practices for soil and microbiome health. These are truly the foundation for healthy plants and vegetables. The more I learned the more I realized there is an abundance of information that someone could spend a lifetime studying! I’ve been inspired by the Back to Eden method and I’ve tried to work with nature as much as possible in establishing my garden. Here in the lowcountry we have very sandy soil that does not naturally like to grow abundant produce. This has presented challenges. As I’ve figured out ways to improve my soil, it’s really turned into a passion that I want to share!

Fast forward to 2022 when we added chickens to our little homestead of less than one acre. This one blindsided me. Lol! I had no idea how madly in love I would fall with these little creatures! Again, it has spiraled into something I’ve become very passionate about. My goal from the beginning has been to give my chickens the cleanest lifestyle possible so that we feel good about eating their eggs. Again, there is a wealth of information out there on how to do this. The more I learn, the more I want to share!

My third area of passion is finding ways to feel good about what we put into our bodies. It has become difficult to navigate produce and products that we consume. As I find things that make me feel great, I love to share my finds!
