About L.A. FARM GIRL
I’m an — artist, cook, explorer, photographer, healer, native Angeleno, and proud nerd.
L.A. FARM GIRL wasn’t planned — it was born out of loss and built on love. After losing my son Alex, creativity became my way forward. What started with a batch of jam turned into something much bigger — a lifeline, a purpose, and a way to keep his spirit close.
Every jar, every recipe carries the weight of that journey — the grief, the healing, and the moments where I found my way back to myself.
L.A. FARM GIRL is a blend of my family’s Texas roots, my California soul, and the bold flavors and stories that tie it all together. A little country, a little rock ‘n’ roll, and always real.
Glad you’re here.

Our Legacy
My story doesn’t start with me — it’s rooted in the hands, hearts, and hard work of my ancestors. From enslaved beginnings on the Buena Vista Plantation in Victoria County, Texas, to building businesses, schools, and a legacy of land ownership, my family’s story is one of resilience, creativity, and perseverance.
Through farming, fur trapping, cutting wood, and running one of the first Black-owned general stores in South Texas, they built something out of nothing — and they passed down more than land. They passed down values, recipes, and a belief that you take pride in what you create with your own hands.
Those recipes, those lessons, and that spirit live on in L.A. FARM GIRL today. Every jar, every batch, every product carries a piece of that legacy — proof that even through hardship, creativity and community can thrive.
This is more than food — it’s family history, reimagined and shared with you.
