Hailing from the heartland of South Dakota, I'm a true Midwest girl at heart. Growing up surrounded by wide-open spaces and a strong sense of community instilled in me a love for the simple, slower pace of life. Now, I find myself deep in the Idaho mountains with a much more rugged terrain.
When I'm not tending to my flock, you'll likely find me in the garden, where I've cultivated a passion for growing my own food. From heirloom tomatoes to fragrant herbs, I love nurturing plants and reaping the delicious rewards of homegrown produce.
I believe in the power of community and strive to foster connections wherever I go. Whether it's organizing neighborhood potlucks or sharing tips and advice with fellow chicken enthusiasts online, I'm dedicated to building a supportive network of like-minded individuals who share my passion for sustainable living.
I am a dedicated advocate for self-sufficiency, empowering individuals to embrace a lifestyle of independence and resilience. With a passion for helping others unlock their potential, I specialize in guiding people through the challenges of sustainable living, particularly in the realm of poultry keeping, gardening, and homesteading.
Drawing inspiration and experience from my own journey towards self-sufficiency and off-grid living, I understand the obstacles and uncertainties (and there will be many!) that arise when striving to cultivate a more sustainable lifestyle. With a compassionate and personalized approach, my goal is to empower you to overcome obstacles, embrace new skills, and ultimately achieve your goals of greater independence and sustainability.
