With a 21-year career in mortgage banking behind me, I rediscovered my hands-on roots in 2025 with a small garden of flowers and organic vegetables. The move was about more than farming — it was about choosing a life that creates, not consumes.

I founded Coastal Farm and Gardens in February 2025 to grow what my community truly needs: healthy vegetable plants, fresh organic produce, and free-range eggs from happy hens. My journey from suits to soil reflects the simplicity of purpose I’ve always sought — growing nourishing food the way nature intended.
