Why I Love Bountiful Farms!

-

I cannot stress enough on the importance of knowing where your food comes from. And what better place to get fresh produce then directly from the farm?
Nothing makes me happier than seeing where my vegetables come from. If more children got to go to farms and pick their own vegetables, they might be willing to eat more of them. Farm-to-table truly works!
When you get to see firsthand the chickens that laid your eggs and the soil that your veggies grew in, then you truly can see the gifts that Mother Nature has given us. We take it all for granted because we eat these things every single day.
So today, I’m going to be telling you guys about a local farmer near me who has the BEST vegetables. The name of this wonderful place is Bountiful Farms.
 
Bountiful Farms is a local family owned and operated farm that grow all natural and chemical-free produce. I absolutely enjoy it every time I visit them!
Jessica Gentry and her husband Gareth both started as chefs and thought it would be amazing to grow their own food. So they purchased their very own farm in the town of Okahumpka, Florida.
Jessica truly is an amazing and kind person! She cares about the produce and her customers so much. I got to go out with her and pick out my own vegetables!
Along with providing great produce, they also offer fresh eggs and raw, organic and unfiltered honey straight from their own beehives.
So if you’re ever in the area, this is a stop that you have to make. Bountiful Farms is a hidden gem and I am so blessed to have found.

My Favorite AIP "Cheese"

Every once in awhile, there comes a recipe that you make and it just blows you off your feet. Today I'm going to share with you an AIP-friendly, nut free and dairy free recipe that did just that! It's a short post, but I just got to get the word out there about how great this is. One day I was exploring for a unique and creative recipe to use some zucchini we had leftover. Where we live, we get great zucchinis all year round, so it definitely means incorporating them in a lot of different dishes. When I wasn't sure what to make, I happened to stumble across a recipe for "cheese" made out of zucchinis from a blogger I love called A Squirrel In The Kitchen . If you haven't been to her blog, please take a quick trip over to her and check out some of her recipes. Sophie is an autoimmune warrior and passionate foodie, and she makes some really delicious recipes. This one, and many others, are perfect for anyone looking for an AIP-compliant recipe to try.
