Hello, I’m Catherine!
Welcome to Cedar Homestead—where I help beginners grow their own food with ease and joy.
My love of gardening started with sunny summer days, biting into fresh tomatoes grown by my dad on our apartment balcony. That simple thrill—a tomato still warm from the sun—stuck with me. It was only when I studied in Italy that I really felt how food and growing it connect communities and spark confidence.
Back in 2019, my husband and I planted our first garden at our new home and I dove head‑first into soil, seeds, and small-space growing. Now my mission is to empower you—no matter the size of your space or experience—to grow fresh vegetables, herbs, and fruit at home.
