Homegrown's Kitchen Staples

If you haven’t heard, Homegrown is now on YouTube! We couldn’t be more excited to share more free content, education, and a glimpse into our lives. Join us on our channel as we connect with even more of this amazing Homegrown community! 

In a recent episode, we dove  into one of our favorite topics: Our kitchen Must-Haves. We break down our favorite cookware, utensils, natural cleaners, sourdough tools, coffee, and water filtration.

The main takeaways: always opt for natural materials (ditch the plastic & toxic materials/ingredients), and focus on purchasing items that have multi-purposes, that are durable and long-lasting. And of course, we also love and strive for aesthetically pleasing items too.
