Here to grow.

Hello! I’m Kristin, if you’re a mom, have a green thumb, enjoy pop culture and the occasional (conspiracy) theory, you’re in the right place.

After graduating from college and joining the 9-5 “grind” and adding a 5-9 side job I told myself I needed a hobby. I went to Pinterest and quickly chose gardening. This is not because I loved a farm fresh salad (which in truth was the only thing I thought people grew). My curiosity stemmed from watching a tiny seed turn into a whimsical plant.

Learning how to grow plants that would eventually become food on my plate started my desire to preserve and cook from scratch. From there I wanted to know what else I could do without the help of the grocery store. I dove into baking bread (hello pandemic sourdough boom). Which eventually led to simplifying my diet and leaning into whole foods, yes, the ones I can actually grow now!

I have always had the spirit of “more” but in a simplistic way. I want to grow each year in knowledge of my selected craft. I plan to create a healthy sustainable life for my family that includes unlimited berry plants for my toddlers and fresh food on the table. I want to learn how to raise livestock and teach my family the importance of knowing your local farmer.

If all of this sounds important to you, I hope you can join me in discovering a new way to return to basics and simplicity of life.
