Hello! Nice to meet you!

Welcome to Farmgirl Paleo. I'm glad you are here. I hope you will stay a while.
Hello! My name is Nelle Weaver. I'm a Certified Health and Lifestyle Coach at NourishingFarmgirl.com and a Paleo food and lifestyle blogger here at FarmgirlPaleo.com.
My husband and I write about our simple life, including gardening, canning, dehydrating, fermenting, beekeeping, and other homesteading skills on my website MamasHomestead.com.
When I’m not writing and creating tasty recipes in the kitchen (and teaching others to do the same), I enjoy spending time with my family backpacking, hiking, and camping. I also love to express my creativity. Sewing, quilting, photography, and many other outlets take up my extra time. Read More…
