Cindy’s Gardening Interests
“My Italian grandfather always had a garden in his backyard. I remember how delicious the produce tasted. Also, Trips to Italy where I ate delicious meals inspired me to start a garden. While traveling and eating in Italy, I realized that the meal you make is only as good as the raw ingredients you start with.
So organic gardening has been one of my hobbies for over 25 years. In addition, I am a chef (former restaurant owner), educator, photographer, videographer and mother of two grown children. Nutrition and healthy eating became interesting to me when I was in high school. And to this day, I enjoy a whole foods plant-based diet.
As you can see, my garden isn’t very big, but with the right soil it’s amazing how much food I can grow in a few small garden beds.
My husband and I also share a small fruit orchard with our neighbor (they do most of the orchard work). In addition, we grow plums, peaches, pears, apples, pears, lemons. persimmons, blackberries and more.
Cindy’s Interests
Locally, I teach cooking and gardening classes to adults and children. On occasion I have food booths at local fairs.
I will cater your small event, or prepare whole foods plant based meals for you and your family. In the years to come, I hope that my website and online presence will continue to grow and inspire many people.
We can help to heal our bodies and our planet by the food choices we make. By supporting our local farmers we can shop at our local farmer’s markets. In addition, we can reduce our meat consumption and eat seasonally, locally grown organic foods. These choices reduce the use of fossil fuels that contribute to climate change.
Remember that we can vote with our forks!”
