Welcome!

Check out the snazzy new look!

We’ve moved things around, replaced some stuff, added other stuff, and in general messed with everything. I hope you like it! If you stumble on something that doesn’t work please let us know (info at primalgardener.com) so we can get it fixed right away.

If you are new to blog, howdy! My name is Corie. I live in the Pacific Northwest and I spend an inordinate amount of time trying to grow the perfect tomato. My family (Hubby, Munchkin and the newbie, Tadpole) and I have slowly been transforming our little piece of suburbia into a mini-farm with gardens, chickens, and a tiny fruit orchard. My goal is to, eventually, grow most of what we eat.

Of course, once you grow it you have to eat it, which is why I write a lot about what I’m eating, the recipes that I’ve found, ways to preserve food, and what I’m doing with the tons of zucchini I manage to grow every summer. I’m slowly becoming one of those nerdy foodie people, but no one seems to mind (maybe because my cooking has improved because of it).

If you want to find out more about me check out the About Page, otherwise take a gander at the Recipes Page, there are tons of tasty dishes waiting to be made; or check out the Links Page for the bloggers and websites I follow. Join me on Facebook, follow my awful food photography on Instagram, or check out the list of crazy must-do ideas on Pinterest . It’s great to have you here!
