Hi! I’m Brandelyn!

My journey to cooking from scratch started as a little girl, questioning the ingredients on food labels. As I learned about the food additives and chemicals in processed foods, I dove into learning to make as much as could at home, using the best organic ingredients I could find. Many years later, as I started my own family, my husband Joe and I decided to take our knowledge and commitment to clean ingredients even further and started our own little homestead. Here we have learned to grow bountiful gardens, raise chickens to provide fresh eggs and organic meat, raise our own turkey and pork free of hormones and antibiotics, hunt for venison, fill our freezers with fresh fish, and raise a beautiful little herd of dairy goats to provide raw organic dairy to our family.
