“It's so important to have an antidote that shows us how beautiful it can be to make food at home and how actually joyful and easy it can also be. Because in the end, this will be healthier for us but also for the planet.” —Daniela Kratz
Cooking can be a therapeutic and satisfying experience, but it's not always easy to find the motivation. Between finding the right recipe, shopping for ingredients, and having to clean up after the meal, it’s no wonder so many people opt for takeout. But what if, there is an “antidote” so that we can enjoy the cooking process just as much as the final product?
Founded by Daniela Kratz, Farmhouse Lab is all about celebrating the joys of sustainable, plant-based eating. Their goal is to help inspire a plant-based revolution from the comfort of our own homes. Not only are they passionate about ensuring that every ingredient used is consciously sourced and crafted with care, but they also choose their partners with great attention to detail. They want their customers to know exactly where their food comes from and how it's made, so they can feel good about every meal they enjoy.
Tune in as Justine and Daniela share how simplicity can make our food of superior quality. They'll also dish on the key ingredients for a delicious, healthy salad. Plus, they'll delve into how Ayurveda's guiding principles can help us find balance, and the secret to bringing more joy to our mealtimes. Don't miss out!
Meet Daniela:
Daniela Kratz is a mom of two who calls the SF Bay Area home. In 2016, she decided to shift gears and launched Farmhouse Lab’s specialty dressings.
After years of working in sustainability leadership for a large global corporation, Daniela realized that what inspired her was helping individuals make healthier and more sustainable food choices. She noticed that most dressings on the shelves contained yucky stuff like preservatives and artificial flavors.
So, she decided to take matters into her own hands and create high-quality, sustainably sourced, and delicious dressings. As a busy mom, she knew firsthand how hard it can be to whip up healthy meals on the go. Combining her love of entertainment and passion for sustainability, Daniela created a business that promotes a healthy lifestyle.
