If you're ready to grow your own food, live more sustainably, and build a resilient life, then you're in the right place.
Transform your land, your life and your community.

Hi, I'm Kareen Erbe.
I help people in cold climates grow their own food so they can eat healthier, live more sustainably and be more self-reliant.
Whether you have a small backyard and you're new to gardening or you're working on developing an integrated homestead, I'm here to help you on your journey.
I believe that growing your own food and building more self-reliance are some of the most positive and empowering steps that you can take towards creating a regenerative future for yourself, your family, and the planet.
If you're ready to create a healthy, self-reliant life more connected to the land, then join me.
