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 farmed organic vegetables and fed our community for the next decade.
