Food became a major part of my life in 2016 when I became plant-based and started teaching myself how to cook. What began as a necessity quickly turned into something I genuinely loved. I found myself spending more time in the kitchen, wandering farmers markets, bringing home beautiful produce, and creating recipes just for fun. Before fully diving into food, I explored a few different paths, from interior design to retail, before starting my own dog walking business, which I ran for 10 years. During the pandemic, I took an online nutrition course that helped me realize that while I loved learning about food, what I really loved was making it. Now, I share my recipes online along with little bits of my life, and I’m excited to continue growing my platform and Rachel’s Farmshop, where I offer private meal prep, kitchen organizing, farmshop boxes, and seasonal menus for delivery.
