Hi, I’m Tori!
In 2017, I made the decision to leave the West Coast and return to my hometown in suburban Ohio. While finishing my MBA and building a career in marketing, I developed a growing passion for gardening and homemade food. That passion led me to start a small craft food business, where I got my first taste of the local food scene through farmers’ markets. From there, my curiosity deepened, and I became obsessed with learning everything from permaculture to herbal medicine, driven by the desire to grow and make food from scratch.
Through this journey, I realized that self-sufficiency and traditional food practices offer a way to take control of our lives. But as a busy professional myself, I know how challenging it can be to make time for these things. Over the years, I’ve refined a simpler, more streamlined approach—one that makes gardening and cooking from scratch feel easy and accessible, even with a full schedule.
As your Grocery Garden Guide, I’m here to show you how you can effortlessly integrate these practices into your life and enjoy the rewards of growing and making your own food.
