I'm a farmer, too!
After spending 15 years in food service running a successful bakery cafe, I left the big city for a simpler life where I could build a better connection to my food system. I grow over 100 crops during our short mountain season. I never spray pesticides, do not till the soil and I make most of my own fertilizers and grow my own mulch to keep my plants happy and healthy. Let's just say the forest that surrounds my field is my teacher.
My chickens enjoy any and all food scraps which help return fertility to the soil and eggs on the plate.
I am happy to provide you with fresh produce from my field as it becomes available and boy I can tell you that it feels good to trust the food we eat!
I also network with local farms because well, local is always better. You can be sure I have not only the needs of your family but also the planet with my focus on regenerative agriculture and minimizing food waste.

I was born and raised in Hawaii and spent most of my adult life in Seattle Washington. Now, I'm glad to call my little slice of Appalachia, home.

My life's passion has always been food and cooking and so it was no surprise I opened a bakery. I sold it to one of my best employees and she continues to thrive.

After I sold the bakery, (and everything else I owned), my husband and I hit the road in an Airstream, crossing the country five times and collecting stories along the way on a travel blog, http://www.noplacenowhere.com

In 2018, we purchased an old farm house in Barnardsville, NC, just North of Asheville. I felt the desire to close the loop between the food we eat and where it comes from. Ever since, we have been enjoying our own vegetables and farm fresh eggs daily.
