The Farming Cook

I am a young, happy, vibrant, passionate and loud lady born in Mafikeng, NW South Africa. My love for food started at a very young age, my mother will happily share with anyone that I started cooking from as early as 8years old and loved cooking shows. I started growing crops in the backyard of a townhouse I rented, back in 2013 and this became my therapy from the stresses of my 9 to 5 job (it still is!) both the kitchen and garden grew to become my happy place. My curiosity about producing crops organically started in 2014. This grew into a different love for food - I didn’t just want to cook it, I wanted to produce it and this gave birth to farming more than just growing food in my backyard. When I’m the kitchen or in the garden, a part of me is fulfilled in a way that I cannot explain. In a nutshell, growing and cooking food makes me very happy. I am also proud to add that food production has become a shared love in my family . I look forward to sharing my passion with you and hope to interact with you through our products. I hope to inspire you to look and food differently - with more respect, with more intention and with more love.
