We also go over our future goals for our pantry, cooking, and eating habits.

So why on earth would we choose to do all things ourselves? Well, that's what we're here to talk about. These are the reasons that push us through the busy growing season, keep us looking forward in winter, and make us excited to take on another chaotic year.
