Finding beauty in our everyday life at home; wholesome food, natural living and a homegrown harvest.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Hello, I’m Brooke!
Welcome to Home Life Harvest, a place where I passionately share wholesome home cooked recipes, daily life on our small, backyard homestead and practical tips for a nutritious homegrown harvest.
My husband, Mike, and I were high school sweethearts. We have been a couple for 28 years and have three kids-two sons and one daughter.
I grew up in a small, coastal town in Northern California. I have one sister and enjoyed my childhood immensely. I spent countless hours in my father’s backyard vegetable garden as a child. That is certainly where my passion for gardening first began.
I have a deep interest in natural remedies and wholesome, body nourishing food. Inside my medicine cupboard is an extensive supply of essential oils, supplements, and herbal and homeopathic remedies.
I have a passion for gardening and raising chickens and rabbits. To me, there is nothing more satisfying than feeding my family from a backyard garden harvest or collecting fresh, organic, farm fresh eggs from our backyard flock.
A few fun facts about me:
I was a competitive gymnast and a member of a local swim team in my adolescent and high school years.
I was a middle school cheerleader and also played high school volleyball.
I have a bachelor’s degree and a teaching credential. I taught public school for several years and, most recently, run a private tutoring business from home.
I started and ran a home business that sold and shipped used text books to college students nationwide.
I am a lover of coffee, red wine and chocolate!
