I’m so glad you’re here! My name is Krista, and I’m an artist, author, photographer and grower of deliciousness on my Australian farm. I’m also a grateful survivor-thriver who believes in the power of stories, nature, and creativity to heal the darkest experiences of our lives.
My great love is making beautiful things with herbs, from nourishing remedies and fragrant teas to luscious home-brews and divine sausages, cheeses, breads, and preserves. I share those recipes and ideas through my books, teach them in workshops, and send them to you straight from my tiny kitchen via my Etsy shoppe.
I love working with folks to build a home apothecary, stock a pantry, or just have fun making delicious and nourishing things.
