Why Nourish?
We live in an age of extraordinary scientific and technological innovation—of wealth and wonder, brilliance and breakthrough—yet our country buckles under the weight of disease and depression, crippled by obesity and its chronic companions: namely, diabetes, stroke, and heart disease. Some see the epidemic.
We see the opportunity.
As our world caters to a culture of faster and now and the miles between farm to fork grow, cooking and gardening are less-than-common knowledge.
The food we eat is often as foreign as what to do with it. And when we begin to feel the effects of our hyper-processed state, we’re more conditioned to reach for a prescription than turn to nutrition—not because we’re unwise, but because we’re unaware of other possibilities.
We believe the food at our fingertips is the most powerful tool for reclaiming and sustaining our health. Real, beautiful, fresh, honest food contains nearly everything we need to be happy and healthy. This is no revelation. We all know we should eat better. What most of us don't know is how to do it.
