Hello! Cheryl here – gardener and head of recipe development on a one acre homestead on Canada’s west coast. I’m passionate about growing, cooking, and eating plants.

My family has been farming and homesteading for generations, but over the years, we have been challenging the idea of what that looks like. Using no-dig, veganic permaculture practices, we work at growing as much of what we eat in as sustainable a way as possible.

Our small flock of rescue chickens and ducks serve dual purpose as both companion animals and green waste composters.

When not in the garden, I’m in the kitchen, tweaking old family favourites and devising delicious new ways to eat what we grow.

Posts dated before 2017 are from my old blog, Free Range Living. You can find all of the original content in the archives.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
