real food starts here.

Meet Andrea & Rachel

In a world of cheap ingredients, instant meals and where toxic chemicals are the norm, we’ve become disconnected with the roots of our health.

Andrea is a gardening expert with 13 years of hands-on experience. Her journey began on a college student farm and blossomed into a career helping people grow their own food—especially in small, urban spaces.

Rachel is a curious gardening student on a mission to reclaim her health. After years of battling autoimmune issues, she turned to Ayurveda and discovered a deeper truth: real vitality comes not just from organic food, but from food that’s local, seasonal, and alive with life force.

Together, they form the perfect team—teacher and student—inviting you into a learning space built on Andrea’s wisdom and Rachel’s curiosity. Whether you’re brand new to gardening or looking to go deeper, you’re in the right place.

What Can You Do About It?

  • Gardening reduces stress by up to 36%, improving both mental health and well-being. (Journal of Health Psychology)
  • Save $200-$500 annually on your grocery bill by growing your own food. (National Gardening Association)
  • High Success Rate for Beginners – About 80% of home gardeners report successful harvests in their first year with minimal experience.
  • Space Efficiency – You can grow 100 lbs of vegetables per 100 square feet with intensive gardening techniques, meaning even small spaces can yield plenty of food.
  • Cost Savings – Home gardening can save families $600+ per year on grocery bills by growing common produce like tomatoes, leafy greens, and herbs.
  • Water Efficiency – Many crops require surprisingly little water:
  • A 4×8 ft raised bed needs only 10 gallons per week in many climates.
  • Drip irrigation can reduce water use by 50% compared to traditional watering.
  • Health Impact – Homegrown food is richer in nutrients, especially leafy greens, which can lose up to 50% of vitamin C within 24 hours of harvest in store-bought produce.

“I’ve learned so much in just one season from Andrea through the course and Q and A sessions. I finally feel confident about gardening and am actually excited to finally get this right!”

“Andrea is an expert, customer-oriented professional and we really gained a lot from her consultation. Our 2020 “COVID” garden was hugely productive and it was especially gratifying that for the first time in years, our tomato plants were healthy and vigorous.”

“My little garden is such a blessing to me everyday. Glad I decided to commit to the course and add gardening to my life.”
