I’m so glad you stopped by Real Food Living. Please make yourself comfortable and stay awhile. Put your feet up, grab a nice cup of tea and look around to your heart’s content!
Real Food Living began in 1984 and grew out of our passion and vision to find and share information, experiences, encouragement and resources with families who were seeking ways to use real food, natural health, taking care of our loved ones and serving God.
It started with us and our family needs, and at the time there wasn’t much information on real food from scratch, food and natural remedies for healing and doing things more naturally, the way God designed, and from home. So, we started sharing what we learned. We’ve been doing this ever since!
I hope you check out the recipes, product reviews, FAQs and the articles, radio show info and all we have here at Real Food Living. Please feel free to drop me a line anytime if you have a question, comment or topic you want me to cover. Click here to send me an email.
I hope to see you again soon!
