We are a family of three, originally from the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii. Currently we are traveling around Europe telling the stories of local farmers and homesteaders. Our family is comprised of Emily, Hunter and our son. I was born and raised in Hawaii and Emily moved here from Arizona twelve years ago. We have a love for nature, farming, gardening, animals, baking, and growing our own food. We strive to be good stewards of the land and to be mindful of what we put in our bodies.
