I create home cooked meals in your home. I source most of my ingredients from my micro-farm where I have been slowly improving my soil, creating a wonderful ecosystem for native wildlife, and building resiliency. I have also built relationships with other local farms who share my philosophy and passion for the land.
My Personal chef services include
- private dinner parties for up to 20 guests
- weekly meal preparation for your family
I supply the farm fresh ingredients and tools, you supply the kitchen. And we can feel good about our choices.
I am surrounded by the greatest teacher of land management, the forest. I don't till and I don't spray any chemicals and I keep the soil covered as much as possible. My fertility is sourced from my flock of roaming chickens and a growing on-farm composting system. Nothing at my farm goes to waste.
Without getting too political, let me just say that it doesn't make sense that food is trucked or flown clear across the country. It also doesn't make sense that large corporations are currently growing most of what we eat without any care for diversity or long range goals.
There are plenty of small family farms around us yet it is sometimes so difficult to access their produce. Not only do I grow many ingredients on my own farm, I have also built relationships with local farms.
I want to make it easy for people to eat well and feel great about where their food comes from. For families up to 4 adults, I create personalized meals and snacks in your kitchen that you can enjoy throughout the week.

While my husband and I and our two cats were on the road in our Airstream, I felt compelled to write about my observations in the different places we stayed and the different people we met along the way. I collected these writings into a travel blog, http://www.noplacenowhere.com
