Rooted in Nature

Crafted with Care

Growing up in the city, surrounded by towering buildings, I never thought much about where my food came from. Life was fast-paced, and convenience was everything. But in 2020, everything changed. When grocery store supply chains were interrupted, I had to get creative with a lot of things in my life. I learned to live without many of the conveniences I once took for granted. Money was scarce as the world around me shut down, and I had to make every penny count.

Cooking from scratch became a necessity, and I discovered a newfound love for it. I got really frugal with how I spent money and quickly realized that we could live without a lot of things we thought we needed. This sparked my interest in hydroponics. Although my first attempts mostly didn’t work, they worked just enough to plant the seed of an idea in my head: self-sufficiency.
