My name is Isis Loran, creator of the Family Food Garden.
I’ve been gardening for over 10 years now and push the limits of our zone 5 climate. I love growing heirlooms & experimenting with hundreds of varieties, season extending, crunchy homesteading and permaculture.
My goal is to try and get the maximum from our food garden and I created this site so that thousands (now millions!) of people could do the same. I now have a team running the site for me.
What is a family food garden?
Food is medicine, tea, herbs, healthy fruits and vegetables, wild foraged food, and anything that you consume internally. Growing some of your own food gives you back some control over what goes into your body.
Because let’s face it, even ‘organic’ has become a trend. That means many small organic farms are getting bought out by large-scale corporate farms, often resulting in short cuts and reduced quality. Your food also comes from super far away (most of the time) and is harvested before peak flavor and nutrition.
Our goal with this site is to give you awesome inspirational content to help your family grow more food!
