Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food

This weekend, I wandered through our local farmers market. There was live music in the background, the scent of fresh herbs in the air, and familiar faces behind every booth. There’s something deeply grounding about knowing the hands that grew your food.

Take a quick walk through the market with me. It’s proof that healthy eating starts with community.

A Note of Faith

My faith is a big part of who I am, so I’ll leave you with this:

There’s a special peace in slowing down, choosing local, and cooking what’s in season.
Food isn’t just fuel. It’s connection, creation, and community.

Let’s keep it local, clean, and full of love. 💚
