| Me in the kitchen of our new house. The kitchen and dining room came painted the colors of my blog, how serendipitous. |
After serving two years in the Peace Corps, I learned first hand about responsible living. I believe how we produce food and what we choose to eat can impact not only our health, but the heath of all natural systems.
I have a degree in horticulture and spent five years working in public gardens and arboretum.
In 2011, I left my job when my husband took a professorship at a small liberal arts university.
We had our first child in June 2012. I call her Junebug on this blog. We now have a second who goes by Sunny. He was born in June 2014.
During the 2015 growing season, I worked at three local farms to learn about how they make their living and support their community by growing food.
In the last five years, I have worked to feed my family locally. We have a productive garden and grow a good part of our vegetables and some fruit. What we can't grow ourselves, I try to purchase at local farms. Right now, the food we buy conventionally is mostly grains and dairy.
