Hi, I’m Sam -

When I had my first child, I knew I wanted to provide nutrient-dense food and a space outdoors for them to explore and be.

I read hundreds of books, followed the check-lists and the how-to guides, molding any information to fit my climate and lifestyle.

Now, I grow fruit year- 'round, veges and flowers alongside chickens, a puppy and honeybees that spark joy for me.

I started the White Strawberries podcast because I believe one of the best things we can do as individuals is grow — for ourselves, our communities, and this planet.

I am not a full-time homesteader — I juggle parenting, teaching, podcasting, and adventure — and I’ve learned that a garden should quietly support your life, not drain it.

Grounded is my four-week journey for people who want the same: a thoughtful, lived-in garden that fits your land, your needs, and your life — with clarity, ease, and plenty of joy.
