Growing a sustainable future, one seed at a time. 🌱✨

Hey there, I’m Sharlene MacCoy, P.Ag. with a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture from the University of Manitoba I am passionate about growing food in ecologically sustainable food systems. I created The Cultivated Pantry to share practical ideas and empower you with tips on food sustainability and security.

Here’s a bit about my journey: I've spent years digging deep (sometimes literally!) into how we can transform agriculture into a more efficient, waste-reducing process that honors both nature and our community. My goal? To spark a DIY spirit in everyone—from backyard gardeners to urban farmers—so we can all contribute to a healthier planet, one seed at a time.

On this website, you'll find accessible, hands-on advice that cuts through the jargon. Whether you're a seasoned grower or just curious about where your food comes from, my aim is to make sustainable practices easy, practical, and fun. I believe that when we share knowledge and work together, we not only reduce waste but also build stronger, more resilient communities.
