Rooted In Nateure
Building a grounded life, one season at a time.
Greeting, friend!
Welcome to Rooted In Nateure.
I grew up fascinated by the natural world, watching Steve Irwin, obsessing over sharks, and once believing I’d become a marine biologist. Life took a different route, but the curiosity stuck.

Why Do I Care About Where My Food Comes From
I never really thought about where my food came from growing up. I only ever really knew what I wanted. It was a combination of home meals and then as life got busier in my childhood it became “I’m stopping at (insert fast food chain here), what do you want?”. It wasn’t until high school…
