We’ve recently moved deep into the Florida wilderness, far from towns, farms, and power lines, to begin a new life rooted in sustainability, resilience, and harmony with the land.

Here, we’re planting another food forest and continuing our journey of growing beyond organic. Our approach is fully regenerative: no pesticides, no fertilizers, not even the so-called “organic” ones. Instead, we work with nature, nurturing the soil, and living in balance with the wild around us.

Gardening is our passion, and our goal is to thrive alongside our plants every day. We give them what they need so they can provide for us in return.

We grow beyond organic not just for our health, but for our community and the planet. By working with nature instead of against it, we’re creating a more resilient and regenerative way of living. Most importantly, we’ve chosen a life we love, one that supports the ecosystem, nourishes the soil, and gives back to the land that gives so much to us.

This move was not just a choice, but a necessity. Both of our previous homesteads, one in Michigan and another in Florida, were destroyed by herbicide spraying. We watched as the soil failed to recover and more trees withered. We knew we had to start over in a place where the air and soil are truly clean.

Health challenges have also shaped our journey. Our family reacts to many store-bought foods and cannot be around common products like laundry products, pesticides, and synthetic chemicals and fragrances. It has always been our dream to grow all our own food, and now, it’s a necessity.

The path ahead is not without challenges, but we believe this is the way forward. Each day we keep planting, learning, and building. One of our greatest hopes is to grow enough food not only to sustain ourselves, but also to share and give back.
