Here’s what changed everything for me…

Not long ago I was scared to show up online and share about my passion for growing microgreens.
I didn’t want to put myself out there scared of what people would think.

But I realized I only got to where I am today because of other people who were willing to put themselves out there.

Now I’m here and I get to take YOUR hand and help you start or grow your own home based Microgreens business.

I know it can feel scary to start but helping you is one of my greatest passions and it’s exactly why I created my crash courses -To give you exactly the info you need at a price you can afford when you are in start-up mode.

Inside my crash courses you can learn at your own pace:
-how to start your biz.
-how to grow consistent amazing micros.
-how to sell your micros with ease.

Just comment “crash” and I’ll send you more info!

Just think… what will life look like in one year from now? Who will you have impacted because you said yes?

Rooting for you 🌱

Just a gentle nudge to look inside at why you are avoiding the very work that will bring about the change you want.
💚
If this hits home.
Spend some time sitting with this and digging into it. Leave your judgments behind and just get curious.

I started my farm by accident.
🌱
I started by growing a few Microgreens on my window sill.
🌱
It was just a fun growing project to do with my kids….
or so I thought…
🌱
It quickly became more like therapy for me…
a quiet time to be with fresh living plants in between chaotic 12 hour shifts at the hospital.
🌱
I started with a love (a need really) to grow something…rather than a thought-out business plan.
🌱
It took years to slowly believe in myself enough to turn this into a profitable business.
🌱
Now I teach others how to do it too!! 😁

6 years ago I trade the hospital 🏥for a greenhouse and disposable gloves for dirty fingernails and I’ve never been happier. Growing nutrient dense food was my path to purpose and I’m thankful everyday that I found a way I could farm while being home with my kiddos.

Health starts with the food we eat.
This is why it is soooo rewarding to be able to grow nutritious microgreens for my neighbors and community.
Fresh, vibrant, and packed with nutrients, these little greens are a powerhouse of flavor and health benefits. I'm forever grateful for the opportunity to share my love of microgreens with others and help promote a healthier and happier community, one (compostable) clamshell at a time 😊

Ready to start living your best life? ⤵️
I used to think a homestead lifestyle was a really nice idea... but just not be very practical.
Sure I'd drool a little looking at homesteaders feeds on IG.
You know what I mean? When you see the impressive pantry stocked with beauty home-canned goods. Or the baby-toting mama who is making cheese with the raw milk from her goats?

I used to wish I had the "luxury" of living a life like I saw on IG.
But my reality looked more like a constant juggling act just trying to stay afloat.

I didn't know how to make a some big lifestyle shift no matter how much I craved a simpler, more sustainable existence.

But then I figured it out.

It was not about a full-on life style overhaul. It was about learning and implementing one skill at a time. And slowly... slowly.. my life is changing. My family's life is changing.

There is no better way to do this than to learn from others who share the passion and have the knowledge.
That is why I am THRILLED to tell you about the
Off-Grid Homestead Bundle
available TODAY at an insane discount!!


The Off-Grid Homestead Bundle is a collection of 100+ high-quality ebooks, courses and guides for only $50. If bought separately, everything in the bundle would cost over $4900 in total, making it a 99% discount! There is no catch, other than the bundle ends on the 31st of March, and all of the resources will go back to the regular.

Happy homesteading friend! Remember it starts with learning one “back-to-basics” skill at a time!!

⭐️Top 5 reasons why I grow Microgreens:

1) they are packed with NUTRIENTS
-think concentrated levels of vitamins minerals and other phytonutrients

2) they are DELICIOUS
-even my my picky eater will agree

3) they are CONVENIENT
-seriously I just add them to anything

4) They grow YEAR ROUND
-plus they grow quick which means I always have fresh greens on hand.

5) They are easy to grow for PROFIT
- I turned my love for growing Microgreens into a profitable business that I can do from home 😁

I was scared it might be a mistake…
leaving a secure career as a registered nurse.
I had this crazy dream of being a farmer. I’m thankful every day that I decided to take that leap.

It solidified an understanding in me that it’s never to late to start something new.

You are never starting from zero. All your life experiences you bring with you (no matter how unrelated they may seem) provide a solid place to jump from.

For me, farming is another chapter not a whole new book.

If you are wondering if you could be a Microgreens farmer… drop the word “wondering”
In the comments and I’ll help you figure it out 😊

I get asked about hydroponics a lot, but here’s the thing…
🌱
-I don’t know all that much about it 😬
🌱
See , I grow amazing Microgreens using a peat-based germination mix.
🌱
As I continue to grow and expand my offerings as a Microgreens educator, I realize that I’m not going to be an expert in everything.
🌱
And that’s ok.
🌱
It’s an opportunity to highlight and connect with other growers in this fantastic Microgreens community,
🌱
Later today,
my students and I will be learning from Chad and Ted Urban Greens] who are true innovators and experts in the hydroponic world.
🌱
This training will then live on in a guest expert vault along with classes on nutrition, crop planning, growing edible flowers (just to name a few).
🌱
Huge thank you to all fellow microgreens farmers out there committed to helping new growers find success by sharing their expertise.
