My husband and I love nature. Before moving to Kent Island, we were avid hikers and backpackers in Arizona. We began adding to our trips by identifying and foraging wild foods. It's amazing how abundant, but at the same time delicate, nature is. We began to think of ways that we could do our part to care for the Earth and ourselves by using natural products and reducing waste. After the move to Kent Island, we began growing our own food and herbs in earnest. We cracked the books and studied the wild plants native to our new home. Soon we began preserving our harvests, making our own body care, and herbal supplement products. Living this way made us feel like we were making a tiny difference, but if we found a way to share what we learn and to sell what we make, we could create a bigger impact. |
