More about me:
My passion for local healthy food and nutrition began when my boys ages 9 & 13 both struggled with health issues from eczema to sleep when they were little. Through local, healing foods and information in our community, they both overcame issues we were told we couldn’t. Now farmers markets are the highlight of our week and local food fuels my sons to be the outstanding and successful athletes they are today. We love traveling to tropical places and experiencing their farmers markets with exotic fruits and nourishing sea life.
