  • WELCOME!

    When my son started having allergic reactions to multiple foods, I tried to find reasons to explain what was happening. After much research, I discovered that our food system is broken. Beyond that discovery, I also learned that we are exposed to toxic chemicals in almost every aspect of our daily lives. I was overwhelmed with information and frustrated by the things I couldn't control. One day I found myself crying in the grocery store, reading label after label, knowing that I didn't want to feed my family this way any longer.

    And so began my journey to research, learn, and find a way to live a cleaner life. It's still a work in progress but, using the 80/20 rule, I very much enjoy the challenge. Finding Clean is a way for me to share my discoveries with the world, and to show people that change doesn't have to be so hard.

    "Be the change you want to see in the world." -Mahatma Ghandi

    So here I am, hopefully changing the world (or at least my little corner of it). If you want to join in, start HERE at the beginning.

    Love,
    Crystal

Kix is NOT all natural

I do my best to limit processed food in our diet, but we still have cereal and a selection of crackers and chips (among other things).  When I started buying only organic cereal, I had a hard time finding one that my daughter liked.   Cereal can be expensive, so doing trial and error is […]

The Farm

One of my favorite places to go these days is the farm.   More specifically, My Dad and Me Family Farm.  In my quest to eat cleaner, I wanted to know more about where my food is coming from.  I found this local farm when I was researching the benefits of drinking raw milk.  Susan […]
