🌱 Hi, I’m Cortney — an organic gardener, homeschooling single mom of three in Upstate South Carolina, and passionate advocate for growing high-value food in small spaces. After nearly two decades of growing my own food, I hit a breaking point. I was burned out, overwhelmed, and trying to live a homesteading dream that no longer fit my life.
When I downsized from 3.5 acres and 28 raised beds to a small, manageable garden, everything changed. I built a system that fits my real-life schedule — and now I help other busy families do the same.
If you're feeling like you don’t have enough time, space, or experience to grow your own food — you’re not alone. You don’t need a huge property or hours of free time to take control of your health, grocery budget, and food security. You just need a plan that actually works for your life.
Now I teach practical, high-impact gardening strategies so you can grow more food with less space, less stress, and more joy — starting right where you are.
