Supporting small-scale farmers local to your area

Supporting small-scale farmers local to your area has a lot of benefits like healthier food, supporting your local economy, a cleaner environment, and more. Grocery store prices are rising in part due to rising fuel costs making this a great time consider where your food comes from and get to know your local farmers.

I saw a lot of wonderful Earth Day and Earth Month

I saw a lot of wonderful Earth Day and Earth Month posts but the message that resonated the most with me was a reminder that humanity’s everyday choices have direct impacts on the planet. Today, as Earth Month concludes, I encourage you to take a moment to expand your awareness by thinking about the long-term impacts of your decisions and consider alternatives to minimize any negative effects you might be causing. This can be as simple as bringing your own reusable cup with you to work or as big as reconsidering your retirement investments. Our planet needs more than just a day or a month, it’s needs our everyday acknowledgement that our health and longevity is inextricably linked with that of the Earth.

It’s Earth month, the perfect time to consider changes that treat the planet not as disposable but something to be cherished and protected. 🌎💚

The loss of trees during Winter Storm Fern has cha

The loss of trees during Winter Storm Fern has changed Nashville’s landscape, letting the sun shine in places that have long been shaded by tree canopy. As spring brings things to life around us, you may be wondering what to do with these new sun filled areas of your yard. Native trees and plants are wonderful options for these areas as they create habitat and food for our non-human neighbors and are more resilient to changing weather.

During a recent trip to downtown Dickson, TN, I took a little time to explore the idyllic streets that feel like the small towns I grew up around in Ohio. Nestled on a side street is one of the town’s latest additions, Petal and Crumb Provisions. The bakery/flower shop offers small-batch goods made, grown, and raised in and around Dickson. Tapping into their farm-friendly, hyperlocal ethos, owners Kelsey and Kirby have hand-selected every item that you’ll find in the store. Stop in to enjoy a freshly baked pastry and a cup of coffee, or pick up provisions if you can’t make it to the grocery store. Pick up a sourdough loaf, browse vibrant flowers from their farm, and curated items from local makers.

We’re excited to introduce you to @greenllamaclean

We’re excited to introduce you to @greenllamaclean, a Johnson City, TN–based small business redefining how we think about cleaning products. During the pandemic, partners Kay Baker and Dr. Matt Keasey were inspired to reduce their family’s plastic waste and limit their exposure to the harmful chemicals found in conventional household cleaning products. Embarking on an entrepreneurial journey, they’ve created a mission-driven, sustainable company offering a line of nontoxic cleaners from dishwasher pods to laundry detergent. With people and the planet at the heart of their mission, Green Llama creates non-toxic, low-waste cleaning products where a healthy home and environment go hand in hand.

Love seeing native plant installations as part of this public school. The greenery is soothing to students and people walking by 🌿. Plants used this way also lower surrounding temperatures and provide food, shelter and habitat for insects.

I recently spent an afternoon in Highland Park, a neighborhood just northeast of Los Angeles. My absolute favorite hair stylist @washedoutsalon works out of a funky neighborhood salon there called Bunny’s. After grabbing a matcha and the crispy hippie wrap from @itshighlylikely I took a stroll. These are some of the standouts for me which I highly recommend if you like books, vintage, local food, good coffee, and/or sustainable, locally made low waste goods!
