A Little History 

Moms For Real Food Initiative is a grass roots organization started by Tracy & Keri in early 2014. We are two Alberta girls eating and feeding our families real food. 

What does that mean?

• Learning sustainable living, organic eating & growing without gmo's, buying locally grown, DIY gardening projects, homesteading and more!

We realized in 2013 that there was a severe lack of correct information for mothers (and parents alike) regarding the food they were eating and subsequently feeding their families.

While Tracy is on the marketing end and finding where all the best links, DIY projects are, and getting our name out there. Keri is on the homesteading end, posting Do-It-Yourself recipes and learning how to homestead.

• Our goals are also to to bring you information that easy to apply to your lives, that is right there in your community, uplifting and earnest in all manner.
  

• We will try - as always - to bring THE most accurate, well thought out, researched, local & up to-date information when it comes to local farmer;s markets, how-to's, growing your own food, alternative meat & egg re-sellers/producers, pesticides, herbicides, locally grown and much more!

  ABOUT
  Tracy was born and raised in Calgary (Bowness and Silver Springs - *fist pump*) and has been everything from a hairstylist, to a truck driver to a graphic designer. Her love for media, administration and the baby industry led her to Birth of a Mother Magazine - and it was a perfect fit! From BOAM, she was able to delve into parenting and media, and that's when she discovered an alarming trend. The health, food and products in the mainstream markets where not what they appreared to be, and what did parents really knew about what they were consuming?
  
  
  Meanwhile she and her family struggled through a fairly hopeless, and severe ADHD diagnosis with her oldest son, Justin. She felt that the "no cure, and medicate" strategy for her boy wasn't good enough and began researching, what she found amazed her, & CURED her son!!
  (Read the full story "ADHD - Our Journey of Food, Health and Knowledge." here)
  
  
  She began Moms For Real Food in an effort to help learn, and subsequently educate, her community and other moms about the dangers of not knowing where our food comes from! So was born her new mantra: Eat Fresh, Buy Local, KNOW what you eat!
  Fun Facts:
• Even though a "City Kid" her German grandparents had chickens and a HUGE garden while growing up.
• Loves everything handmade, and will often find a way to "make it herself"
• Crochets like a mad-woman
• Makes a bug spray every year for friends and family
• Is a budding Herbologist
• Has her Level 2 Reiki Practitioners certification
• Has a dog smaller than a chicken

You can find her (more often than not) plugging away in her office in rural Alberta, just north of Calgary, where she lives with her husband and two boys.

Keri  (aka Crazy Chicken Lady)
 

Young(ish) stay at home mom of 2, born and raised in the city (Calgary) She has dabbled in journalism, photography, photo developing, bartending.

She married into an Alberta farming family (sadly lives in town), but now has rented farm space on her in-laws land to begin her Market Garden, chicken and egg production with plans for many more creatures and produce!

A few Facts about Keri:

• compulsive renovator who suffers from a sever case of ADDD (Attention Decorating Deficit Disorder), as well as an addiction to DIY and home Reno shows
• loves her mutt & her chickens
• loves all things mid-century retro and unique and rustic
• can magically smash all 3 styles in the same house.
• Loves learning about sustainable farming practices and hope to but her knowledge into a farm one day

With the diagnosis of her 'gluten intolerance' over 10 years ago she dabbled in gluten free food but there was limited resources and little info about it. In 2009 her oldest was diagnosed celiac and she went head long into gluten free cooking and purged her home of all the possible cross contaminants (she threw out the toaster too, much to her husbands dismay) and committed her whole family to the gluten free lifestyle.

Her youngest showed the same signs for gluten as well. With 3 out of 4 not able to eat gluten her hubby said 'as long as it tastes good I don't care' and followed along.  Suddenly in jumped a dairy allergy/intolerance for the boys and out went dairy as well (except butter).

Now she's teamed up with Tracy in their endevour to Eat Real Food and tell whomever will listen!
