    Natural Food. Natural Movement. Natural Life.

    Our bodies were meant to eat natural foods. Ingredients as they existed in nature. Here, you'll find clean, healthy, allergen-friendly recipes so you look and feel your best. (Oh, and they're delicious.)

    Our bodies were meant to move naturally. Push, pull, sit, stand, run, jump. Here, you'll find ways to help your body move more efficiently and make everyday life easier and pain-free.

    Our bodies were meant to live rooted in nature. Feeling the ground under our feet, digging in the dirt, a breeze blowing through our hair. Here, you'll find ways to live rooted in nature - from growing your first herb or vegetable plant to raising a flock of chickens.

    At Rooted in Nature, we literally love being at home. We homestead, we homeschool, and we home cook. Here's what we're all about.

    Hi, I'm Jessica!

    A former cereal addict and lifelong adrenaline junkie, I live in Beaufort, SC with my husband and son. We spend what some might consider an exorbitant amount of time building with Legos, and I personally spend a non-trivial amount of time hiding in the pantry eating snacks so my son won't steal them.
