Read MoreWhy Freshly Grown?
Growing up healthy and eating fresh food isn't really mainstream anymore. I know, crazy, right? We've come a long way from eating food from untreated ground and it seems everywhere I turn, someone else is getting cancer. I had my own cancer ordeal at 19 and it changed my life. After treatment and then later having a family of my own, I knew I wanted to help others navigate our insane food system and figure out easy, affordable ways to prepare real, fresh food and switch out toxic home and personal care products for non-toxic ones. Being Freshly Grown to me is about doing the best you can, with what you have, where you're at. It's about eating more real food and less of the fake stuff and being mindful about what goes in and on our bodies. It isn't about being perfect or being right; it's simply growing towards what makes you and your family the healthiest they can be.
