Nourishing Days

Nourishing Days is written by Shannon.

Having grown up in the rural midwest with grandparents who farmed, Shannon has always felt at home in the country… and in the kitchen.

Her roots combined with her background in chemistry made her stand up and take notice when she became a mama in 2006. She began to question many modern, industrialized farming and food practices. She began researching everything from CAFOs to the false criminalization of saturated fat to how to grow your own food.

Overwhelmed, but not deterred she began voting daily, not at the ballot box, but with her food dollars and her time. She found that cooking and a connection to our food’s roots are foundational to the health of our bodies and our world.

Her and her husband share a dream of a simple life of growing their own food and giving their children lots of love, sunshine, and raw milk.

She writes about her journey towards a life of nourishment and sustainability at Nourishing Days.
