About
Hi, Iโm Laura โ a bona fide Food Prood!
I care deeply about whatโs in our food โ not just the ingredients, but how itโs grown, raised, and brought to the table. My husband Justin and I saw just how broken our food system had becomeโฆ so we chose a different path and never looked back.
Today, we raise about 80% of our own food โ every veggie, most of our fruit, and all of our meat. Itโs not always easy, but itโs real, itโs right for us, and itโs deeply rewarding.
Iโm here to share whatโs worked for us โ not as a blueprint, but as encouragement. If we can do it, so can you. Whether you're starting with a backyard garden or dreaming of a full-blown homestead, know that self-sufficiency is possible, and youโre not alone. Thereโs a beautiful community out there of folks who care, learn, and grow together.
