Candise Jordan is a Health & Fitness Coach, Urban Farmer, Certified Permaculture Designer, and Forager.
She became a fitness professional straight out of college but quickly realized that you can't out exercise a bad diet. She then decided to take her nutrition studies beyond the 1-2 chapters from her fitness certifications and began her studies as a Nutrition Counselor.
Once she learned how to read food labels she discovered that most of the health foods & supplements on the market weren't quite so healthy after all.
That's when she made up her mind to learn to grow her own food. She started her first garden in 2018 and began volunteering at local farms.
In an effort to learn the most sustainable way to grow food, she got her Permaculture Design Certification through Forested in Bowie, MD and completed her Beginner Farmer Training program through Future Harvest.
During her studies she began working on 3 organic vegetable farms and later began working as a Garden Steward with Forested where she received her Permaculture Certification.
Permaculture exposed her to foods that she had never heard of before and had her nibbling on what she only knew then as weeds. After learning about all of these delicious and nutritious free foods, she began foraging and now she teaches others all about the wonderful wild edibles growing around us.
