My Mission

I first worked on a farm at 13 and discovered a passion for planting, food, and sustainability. Years later, I started My Health Forward in my dorm room to help connect people to local food sources. The movement has vastly grown since I published my first farm map in college. My work remains dedicated to regenerating America's health and soil.

Sourcing

Over the last four years, I've developed relationships with American and Hawaiian growers who are dedicated to regenerative agriculture. In addition to what I grow, I work directly with these farmers and foragers to bring you freshly harvested herbs and seeds. The organic and wild-crafted goods are free of synthetic chemicals like pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides. I hand pack and make all of the goods in small batches to ensure you receive potent, pure, and specially formulated quality. I encourage you to connect with local food producers and start growing a few pieces of food at home.

What is regenerative?

  • Cover Crops

    Utilizing cover crops to cover the top soil, prevent erosion, and return nutrients back into the soil.

  • Crop Rotation

    Rotating crops to improve soil structure, return nutrients to the soil, and interrupt pest and disease cycles.

  • Biodiversity

    Diversity of native grasses, wildflowers, and crops builds resilient soils to help microbial, animal, and plant life flourish.

  • No Synthetic Inputs

    No synthetic pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, or fertilizers means healthier ecosystems.

  • No Till

    Practicing no till helps prevent erosion, increase organic matter content, and support water retention.

  • Animal Grazing

    Ruminants increase moisture infiltration and retention, return nutrients, and reduce wildfire risk.
