MY NAME IS MICHELE...

I have always lived a simple lifestyle
filled with passion and a desire to change things. I have dedicated half of my life to creating everyday household products, beauty aids, herbal remedies, and mouth watering gourmet foods & confections mostly from organic plants and items I grow myself.

Give me a shovel...

And I’ll give you a fully functioning, biodiverse, edible & herbal backyard food forest! Give me a harvest, and I’ll give you an entire years worth of everyday homemade necessities, gourmet meals, and heartwarming gifts!

I grow as much produce & homegrown ingredients as I can for one year at a time, buy the rest of our necessities in bulk, repurpose & reuse as many things as I can, and even create my own jewelry/gifts from piles of leftover/unwanted/broken treasure. I've created the perfect homemade lifestyle filled with love & purpose based on where I live and what I like to do.

SELF-SUFFICIENCY IN THE SUBURBS I wouldn't have It any other way! Welcome to my little slice of heaven.

STAY TUNED: I CAN HELP YOU GRADUALLY ACHIEVE YOUR OWN BACKYARD-PARADISE & UNIQUE, HOMEMADE, DO-IT-YOURSELF LIFESTYLE.
