A bit about me:: I am a Health and Nutrition Coach living in the blue ridge mountains of North Carolina. With a background in sustainable agriculture, and a passionate love for growing and eating nutrient dense food, a field in Nutrition was a natural transition. I enjoy keeping urban chickens, scratch made cooking, health, healing, herbs, and time spent savoring the simple things!

Latest greatest meal cooked at home:: Nettles Quiche and Roasted Local Chicken with garden greens and watercress pesto.

Currently reading:: Wise Traditions. . .In Food Farming and the Healing Arts

Currently listening to:: Sade's new album

My latest DIY project:: Stone steps for the front of the house
