Hi, I’m Chef Courtney

I'm devoted to nourishing my family with traditional foods, to building a sustainable urban homestead, and to sharing it all with you. I have a degree in Culinary Arts and have lived and worked as a chef in the crazy-intense restaurant industry of San Francisco. Now, I reside in the calm, lush, and fertile McKenzie River Corridor in Oregon.

My recommendation is to buy sustainable pastured meats and raw dairy ingredients.

Grains, nuts, seeds, and legumes should be organically grown and either soaked, sprouted, or fermented for ease in digestion and boosted nutrition.

Please shop locally for organic seasonal produce and support small family farms whenever possible.

I encourage you to buy organic, non-GMO options whenever possible.

I call on you to support local, biodiverse farms and local food producers.

I urge you to eat seasonally and preserve and ferment foods for future use.

I empower you to grow your own vegetables, fruit, and animals for food, fat, and hides.

I implore you to foster relationships with organic farmers in your area and help support their efforts for a more sustainable future.
