There is so much Life in Local Food
It starts with one gardener, one farmer, one crop, one recipe at a time.
I started my garden to table journey years ago (including the years I lived in Sweden) and have taken these learning experiences and poured them into Forks in the Dirt- and a book I recently coauthored, Small-Scale Homesteading.
Let’s start digging in!
I believe everyone is welcome on the road to local food. It doesn’t matter if you grow your own, buy from your local farmer, or donate money or produce to a food shelf. If we all do a little something together we will accomplish something big.
Let’s make this journey more fun by traveling together. Go ahead, jump on my hay-wagon and come along for the ride! Monthly Email Sign Up

I am privileged to have the choice to grow my own food. I have the space and have gathered the knowledge over the years. Sharing my love of real food with you is a joy. I’ve compiled many articles on specific veggies, like Cucumbers, Tomatoes and Kale, and general Season Extension and succession planting articles as well.
I promise lots of flavor, dirt under your fingernails and an open mind!
