Social Media Detox
Posted by Nathan Jackson on
I'd like to say that, with all the steps we take to better our mind, body and soul, we don't mess with social media, but that'd be a lie. In truth, much of our business relies on it in order to communicate with customers and share information. It is incredibly helpful in keeping our little business chugging along and we are super grateful for it, but... We spend too much time on it. Some days, its the first thing we look at in the morning and the last thing we see at night. Its not always easy to realize how...
Journey into Gluten-Free Baking
Posted by Nathan Jackson on
Let's talk about baking. With a family of hungry boys and a love of playing in the kitchen, you can almost guarantee that I will have one baked good or another sitting out on the counter.

You feel confident that what you’re getting is good for you, but many would be surprised to find out that just because a food says gluten -free doesn’t necessarily mean it’s healthy.

Our Dragons Love Tacos
Posted by Nathan Jackson on
It's a Saturday evening and after a long work week and a hot morning working our farmer's markets, we've earned some time to relax with our littles and connect at the dinner table. Family meals are one of those things we take as an opportunity to ground ourselves from all the day to day commotion. It means putting down the cell phone and talking with our kids about the things THEY want to talk about.
