Howdy!
I’m Candi
(Yes, I hate my name)
Welcome to FarmFreshForLife.com – where I take a fresh and somewhat radical approach to healthy living.
FarmFreshForLife.com is not your typical “healthy living” website. I am not only eating real food– I am raising the food myself. (More on that HERE)
Don’t worry…
You don’t have to buy a farm and grow all YOUR food to eat healthily. I am a believer that farms are optional but eating real foods is obtainable for all.

Be sure to sign up for the healthy newsletter. You’ll get 3 of our most popular resources and regular homesteading helps.
ONE: The Eating Problem
We are all hungry.
Food shouldn’t make us sick and tired.
TWO: We are missing out on the pleasure of food production
Teach your family where food comes from.
Growing food is incredibly rewarding. Gardening (and raising some livestock) is not just a way to get free food, it is sustainable, local, seasonal, fresh, and provides a healthier lifestyle.
THREE: The Lost Art of Cooking
Some of us are as far away from the cooking of the foods as we are growing it. Just like gardening, I think we are missing out on a great blessing.
Cooking from scratch is not just healthy – it fulfills an inner need to produce delicious, nutritious meals.
Do you have dinner overwhelm?
Do you want to go to the garden instead of the grocery?
Do you want to live the simple life?
I know we just met, but if you want to leave the grocery behind and grow your food I can show you how. We have a Membership Community that is just for those of us who are leaving the rat race and living the simple life.
- Members learn how to make health bread with freshly milled flour (and why you should).
- How to grow your food (GROW YOUR OWN – Organic Gardening Class HERE)
- Recipes for garden fresh meals
- Menu Plans that solve the dinner problem. What to cook, Shopping lists and Easy Dinners.
Membership includes hundreds of premium posts & recipes (available only to the Private Community) free eBooks and volumes of resources (more here).
Don’t forget to sign up for updates.
There’s always something exciting going on around the farm & something delicious happening in the kitchen.
