Blog 1 - Hello!

My name is Nadine LeBean and I am the co-creator of The Wandering Market with my partner Michael. Together we conquer this business (and sometimes fail) while raising our six children who are along for this wild food ride of ours.

WILD FOOD RIDE. I just made that up. Sounds pretty good, eh?

We work hard, play hard and are slowly learning how to rest hard. Local food potluck picnic at the beach anyone? I am game!

We really love what we do and what we are building here. This operation is a massive collaboration between us, food producers and you (the customer/producer). I hope you find lots of nourishment and good flavour with us while knowing that you are connected to your local food source.

In this blog I will share my ideas, thoughts and some food skills. Starting over 13 years ago, I spent my time at home with the kids just as The Wandering Market was slowly being born. You could find me in the kitchen learning how to ferment, preserve, build rich and deep broths, make healthy foods my kids will love as well as outdoors foraging, growing permaculture gardens and on farms helping them butcher, harvest and do chores.

I invite you to join along and share with me your own journey of local food and community. I am so honoured to be here with you all and to be given this opportunity everyday.

Much love and good food to ya,

Nadine
