Hey, nice to meet you!
I’m Andrea– farmgirl and food lover.
I grew up a city girl who married a farm boy. After years of working as a photographer and growing our family to seven, we purchased our little slice of prairie paradise here in Central Alberta, where we farm organic vegetables and feed our community.
