I grew up around farming. My maternal grandparents and uncle were farmers, my paternal grandfather always had a garden and was always experimenting with plants, and my own parents always had gardens (my dad grew veggies and my mom grew flowers). As a young child, I even grew things. But then, as I got older, I got too busy for that. High school, college, marriage and then full time jobs took up a lot of time and growing things took a back seat to all the other things. And then we started having kids.
Once we started having children, I quickly realized just how broken our food system is. I became fascinated with growing food and with the local food movement. We moved a lot during those early years with our children, so I played a bit with gardens at each of our homes. I learned a lot through trial and error. During this time, we lost my grandparents, and my mother became ill. This convinced me even more of the importance of clean food, Because of Momβs illness, we decided to move back to Louisiana to be here to help and spend time with family. We were blessed to be able to have some of the land my grandparents farmed, as well as our home in Lafayette. Currently, we have an Urban Farm and are slowly building beds and infrastructure on the farm north of Opelousas which will allow us to grow even more.
