About me

Hi, I’m Amanda. Welcome!

Join my family and I on a journey back to nature as we grow our own food, learn to live more simply, and make wholesome and nourishing meals from scratch.

This journey started years ago for us, but can start right now for you, wherever you are. I love teaching people that, what might seem intimidating at first, is actually a lot easier than you may think. So take a look around!
