Grow Your Own Food with Confidence – Not Guesswork

Welcome to Sugar Creek Farm, an educational space for home gardeners who want to grow their own food using practical, organic methods — without fear-mongering, gimmicks, or overwhelm.

Everything I share here is based on real experience from my own large-scale home garden on our 11-acre farm in Texas. I teach prevention-first gardening, companion planting, and how to understand what’s happening in your garden so problems feel manageable instead of stressful.

Sugar Creek Farm is for you if:

  • You want to grow vegetables, herbs, and flowers together
  • You prefer organic, low-tox methods that work in the real world
  • Garden pests stress you out or leave you second-guessing yourself
  • You want clear guidance instead of conflicting advice
  • You’re willing to learn and observe, not chase perfection

Here, you’ll learn how to:

  • Plan and grow food in a way that reduces pest pressure naturally
  • Use companion planting to support healthier plants
  • Identify common garden pests and understand what they’re telling you
  • Take calm, effective action when something goes wrong
  • Build confidence season by season instead of starting over every year

You May Be Wondering….

I don’t believe in:

  • Fear-based gardening advice
  • Overcomplicated systems
  • One-size-fits-all solutions

I do believe in:

  • Observation before intervention
  • Prevention over panic
  • Teaching gardeners how to think, not just what to do

This isn’t about having a perfect garden.
It’s about learning how to grow food with confidence and resilience.

I’m Taylor,


and I grow food on our 11-acre farm in Texas using organic, prevention-first methods. I’m not interested in gardening trends or perfection – I care about systems that work in real gardens, real climates, and real seasons.

I teach what I’m learning as I learn it, and I share what works, what doesn’t, and what I’d do differently – so you don’t have to figure it out alone.

If you’re ready to understand your garden instead of fighting it, you’re in the right place.
