"Geroscience focuses on interventions to mitigate molecular changes associated with aging. Lifestyle modifications, medications, and social factors influence the aging process, yet the complex molecular mechanisms require an in-depth exploration of the epigenetic landscape.

Farmer Jen Organics

Gardeners! Are you in the Southwest U.S.? It's going to be record EXTREME HEAT! Hop over to my Farmer Jen Organics page for tips to save your food gardens and fruit trees from heat damage.

This amazing mural is inside the Red Rock Casino in Las Vegas. I wish I knew the kindred spirit who designed and painted it! Scroll wayyyy down to the bottom. Today our country faces so many challenges at home and abroad. Sadly the problems in America's food system should be at the top of the list, but it isn't. As I've always said the only way you can know exactly what is in your food is to buy local from local organic and regenerative farmers or GROW YOUR OWN! 🌻🙌👩‍🌾🍓🍅🥬🫑🍑

Refreshing Strawberry Spritzer with Mint from our friend’s kitchen gardens - sans liquor. Love my mocktails!

This Mexican Sage from Cosentino’s Nursery is vibrant splash of color attracting pollinators to our school’s new Berry & Hummingbird garden. Butterflies are coming to check it out. Thanks, John Cosentino!

Sometimes this is just enough for dinner. The only thing missing is Jodi Paige’s Virgin Cheese - Organic Vegan Artisan!!

Wishing you bouquet of blessings today! Happy May Day! 🌸💗

Look who is waiting for Farmer Jen to leave so they can go eat my gardens! They will be disappointed because the MUSE Global School - Calabasas food gardens are surrounded by 12 ft solid cemented in fencing with a strong shade cover. Behind 2 heavy gates! This beautiful family of deer 🦌 have lots of greens 🥬 to eat in the Santa Monica Mountains. Not my gardens! 👩‍🌾🌱

You are beautiful and divinely created - just as you are. Like the 💗🌸🌱👩‍🌾

Bit o’ Irish humor ☘️😉

It blows my mind! It’s about our FOOD. Did you know that the U.S. allows farmers to use dozens of chemicals that are BANNED in Europe? They can cause cancer, neurological problems and hormone disruption. It’s OK take a breath. 🤗 Here’s what to do —

First, a solution on a big scale is regenerative organic farming (not only does it avoid farming with harmful chemicals but the super healthy soil it creates absorbs carbon. This helps the Earth 🌍. Win Win!

Second, you can grow some of your own fruits and veggies! 🥕🥬🌶️🫑🍅. Without harmful chemicals.

For over a decade I’ve been showing folks how to grow their own food. Now I’m digging deeper into Regenerative Agriculture.

Rodale Institute is the #1 leader of education and research on regenerative organic farming.

Last week I had the amazing opportunity to visit their California research farm for the California Small Farm Conference. It was AMAZING!

I could really geek out here - but to keep it simple, they taught all the ways to control pests, bugs, fertilize the crops and all — with NO HARMFUL CHEMICALS on your food.

Growing a small kitchen garden is simple. Msg me for how to start. Then start visiting your local farmers markets. Don’t be shy. Ask the farmers how they grow their food. When you find one that doesn’t use harmful chemicals, buy your veggies from them.

Then keep buying from them. Supporting local organic farmers is good for you! They are changing the planet 🌎 and the health of the American people 🇺🇸.

Are you a farmer that wants to change your methods to use regenerative farming? Rodale Institute will consult with you pro bono to give you all the resources and (keep listening!!!) the grants and funding to help make it happen. Now that’s great news!

Had to share this amazing experience! “where the community is our classroom”. This week I got help in the gardens at MUSE Global School - Calabasas by the Miller Career and Transition Center. These amazing young adults were the best garden team! I asked them to help me clear big weeds out of 3 garden beds to prepare for Fall planting. They cleared 5! Above and beyond the call of duty! Then I led a walking tour through the vegetable gardens where they took home a big batch of Banana Peppers to enjoy at home along with beautiful bouquet flowers to decorate and add to the gardens at Miller Career Center.
These young adults are building career skills…and are already doing great work in Agriculture!
