You don’t have to be a master gardener to grow your own food.

Garden therapy for busy people. Because you deserve to fill up (or build from scratch) that raised bed with nutritious food for your family without all the guesswork.

It’s time to stop the endless cycle of grocery store shopping and doctors visits.

But right now, the path there feels — a little impossible.

You want to learn everything about the process of creating a non-toxic kitchen filled with home-grown vegetables, herbs, and fruit. You want to know exactly how to use food and plants as medicine to keep yourself and your family out of the doctor’s office.

You want to be hand-held through learning how to grow your own food, source locally, and cook seasonally. You want to incorporate slow food and slow medicine into your household, as soon as humanly possible.

You’re in the right place.

  • self-sufficient homestead

    Like many, I have dreams of having a homestead to be able to source my own food for my family. Erica’s guidance has empowered me to make a difference in my family’s life now, not when I have my eventual homestead. I’m so grateful for her generosity and wealth of knowledge.

  • self-sufficient herbal medicine

    I have two little ones and we live on the road, literally! I don't always have access to my doctor so when the kids come down with something it has been so helpful to have Erica's guide in my back pocket. Her methods really work and gave me so much empowerment in the process!

  • self-sufficient subarban homestead

    I live in a densely populated suburban area with what I thought had little access to farm fresh food. Erica changed the way I source and prepare my food, and I already lost two sizes and feel better than I ever have all by getting more involved in the process of nourishing myself.

  • food sourcing homestead

    I recently graduated and moved out of my family home, and I didn't have a clue where to start when it came to nourishing myself. Erica demystified the process from sourcing, cooking, and even the recipes themselves. I feel so much more confident in the kitchen now!

HEY, I’M ERICA

I am a former LA food business CEO turned farmer and herbalist, and I’m now your garden therapist on a mission to help you turn your black thumb into a green one.

To be honest, I didn’t know the first thing about growing food or using herbal medicine. When I first started my garden, I literally killed everything I touched. It took me 3 years to get to the point where I was actually growing things that were worth eating because I totally fumbled my way through the process.

I now have years of compiled experience that I both learned in a school setting and hands on via trial and error. That’s why when it comes to teaching people about gardening, I’m all about replacing the “IDK where to start” energy, with badass “I got this” confidence in the kitchen and beyond.

Because I don’t want you to feel like you’re alone without the resources needed to thrive in an uncertain world. I want you to feel like I’m your home-front guru, and my whole job is to make you feel successful and capable to nourish and heal your family.

Did you know: Highly processed foods make up more than 60% of the calories in food we buy.

I’d love to show you a better way, so take your first steps with me toward a healthier more self-sufficient you!
