IT HURTS!...BUT DO DAT SH!T ANYWAY In the early part of February, life came at me fast ā literally. My family and I were driving back from a weekend trip. We saw a bunch of friends that we hadn't seen in a while and felt like the trip was generally productive. Out of nowhere, a deer leapt onto the highway, with no time to swerve. The impact was loud... violent... and jarring. All the airbags deployed around us. Metal twisted, glass shattered, and just like that, our car was totaled. We sat...

WHAT HAPPENS IF ALL THE VEGGIES ARE GONE? Did you know that every time you make a purchase, youāre shaping the market? Your food choices influence whatās available, what thrives, and what disappears.

We shared our excitement about offering fresh, diverse produce and products to our customers, pouring our passion into every item we grow and create. But thereās a harsh realityāwhen these carefully cultivated foods...

Address Your Thirst First One of my customers recently opened up to me about their struggle with hunger. They described themselves as a voracious eater and felt like they werenāt getting enough food in their meal prep boxes each week from us.

Giving Up Things In Order to Heal Growing up in Brooklyn, surrounded by my rich Guyanese roots, food was more than just something we ateāit was a way of connecting, celebrating, and feeling at home. Our kitchen was always alive with the smell of fresh-baked breads, holiday cakes, fragrant curries, soft rotis, cheese straws, and all the little pastry treats that made life sweeter. These dishes werenāt just about flavor; they held stories. They brought us together during holidays, lazy Sundays,...

Three Things I am No Longer Doing on Valentine's Day I Have a Confession to Make... I am not a big Valentineās Day person. In fact, Iām pretty low maintenanceāno need for the box of chocolates (unless theyāre Ferrero Rocher!) or the red roses. However, there was a time when I felt the urge to do all the things that show that special someone just how much I love them. Then I realized something: all the effort I was pouring into others wasnāt something I was necessarily willing to do for...

What Does Your Self-Care Look Like?

On top of that, I run a wellness businessāand the list goes on.
