Summary
Herbalist, Educator, and Coach. My mission is to enrich our community with the freshest vegetables, herbs, and spices, delivering up to 40 times more flavor, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to enhance healthy living. My inspiration comes from my own experiences surviving Far Rockaway's food desert. During the pandemic, I decided to focus my energy on finding sustainable ways to bring health and hope to my community and myself. I believe in a world where people can cultivate and sustain lifestyles they are proud of; with the access to natural and rich ingredients.
