These experiences and these amazing people have helped me to understand local culture through local food.
Local food is quite different than the food served in restaurants which is why I love to spend my time in the neighborhoods appreciating the local living and partake in the local customs, food and open air markets. This has helped build my enjoyment of simple, clean and organic foods, which is what I wish to share with each of you. It is my mission to create awesome, flavorful meals without additives, sugars or heavy sauces and high fat. You can utilize clean natural food without GMO, pesticides, growth hormones, or antibiotics – foods that are grown the way nature intended. Enjoy & share with your friends.

With air-tight buckets, bags of Bokashi, and weekly pick-up services we encourage you to join us in regenerating urban farmland and creating fresh, local food. If you love local food, you’ll love recycling your food waste because the key to healthy local farms is healthy soil. Currently, precious top-soil is being lost due to deforestation, conventional agriculture, and other destructive practices that remove biomass. This is called soil erosion. On top of this, food comes to us from thousands of miles away and then we send the old and unused food to landfills where it rots away and pollutes our air. By recycling your left-overs and food scraps, you can help create abundant local farms. Instead of participating in a destructive cycle, recycle! Join us! When you collect your compostables, together we will create abundant local farms.

“At every opportunity during a real estate transaction, and with everyone I meet, I continually pose a green idea for homeowners, i.e. it would be wise to have an Energy Audit performed during the inspection period as well as a home inspection, termite inspection, HVAC inspection, and an Environmental Report. How about wrapping those energy improvement features into a green mortgage? How about a solar pool system? Is indoor air quality an issue? Pest control poisoning? Not every real estate professional recognizes these areas of concern!”
