We continued our show by celebrating Mother's Day, and highlighting two amazing mother's who went to great lengths to focus on the health and well-being of their families and friends by starting businesses to offer nutrient-dense foods.
Hillary Stecher and her husband grew up in farming households, and both shared a passion to continue that tradition with their own growing family.  So, when their son refused to eat chicken because of its texture, Hillary and her husband decided to enter into chicken farming.  Today, they raise chickens on the family's original homestead along with vegetables, focusing on sustainability and organic practices, and offering farm-fresh proteins and produce inside The Farmer's Market...a shop on the farm that is located in Mt. Royal in NJ.  The new season opening day is on May 10th, just in time for the weekend!  So make plans for the whole family, as they have an engaging group of livestock for the kids to meet & feed treats to while you pick up some nutritious food to eat!  Be sure to keep an eye out on their socials for any exciting news that might pop up!  Visit https://farmersmarketnj.com for more information and hours of operation!

Being a mother can be exhausting, with all the energy burned from nursing to nurturing your newborn--you need to fuel your body accordingly.  Of course, your loved ones help out when they can but sometimes even the best intentions might not be what an on-the-go mother needs.  Victoria Lindchan experienced the need to feed herself nutrient-dense foods to help keep herself fueled after giving birth to her firstborn, and subsequently began creating nutrient-rich bone broths and stews for herself.  A practice that turned into a business.  Now, the mother of two offers her healthy broths, soups, and other well-balanced meals and snacks through her business, Earthside Provisions.  You can find her products either online or in-person at area Farmers Markets in Philadelphia's suburbs (Weaver's Way, Headhouse, Fairmount Park, Roxboro, etc.) stay up-to-date by following her on Instagram and FaceBook or by visiting her at https://earthsideprovisions.com.
