Our story

One reason I started this journey was because of food allergies. I grew up eating a lot of fresh foods as the cooks in my family are French and we did not have a lot of processed foods. Fast forward to my adult years when eating just was unjoyful. I had stomach pain after eating and I had a hard time enjoying most meals. I finally did a food intolerance test, and the results were shocking. One of the largest triggers for my system was chicken! I started paying closer attention to labels and I vowed to change my habits and cut out as much processed and overly preserved foods as I could! It is not easy eating healthy, but the physical changes make the struggles worthwhile!

My husband and I have a house in town, while my parents have a farm out in the country. They have a variety of animals, including chickens, ducks, cats, dogs, goats, cows and horses that call the farm home. Coming soon are turkeys and guineas! My family moved back to Texas in 2003 and their farm has been growing each year.

Our niece came into the world a lot earlier than we expected and because of that her parents were extra cautious about her food introductions. I made it a personal mission to make as much baby food for her using only homegrown produce with very little salt and herbs for flavor. It was a major success! As time goes on, I hope to create some posts about the combinations I created that she especially enjoyed and held up well in the freezer. 

Growing up flea markets were a regular thing in my life. Every summer I would spend countless hours wandering around various shows with my grandmother. Her house is also filled with antiques and family heirlooms. I am in the process of restoring my great grandpa's 1955 Willy's Truck which I plan to use as part of my market setups! I also will be offering a variety of crystals and home decor at local farmers markets throughout the year.
