Fredrika and her family are a family of five living zero-waste, plant-based, & mindfully minimal so that both the kids and planet can enjoy a beautiful, thriving future.

The family lives on an urban homestead ten minutes from downtown in the middle of San Diego together with their kids Bella (13), Noah (9), and Liam (7), 8 chickens and one bunny. They care for a 400 square foot backyard garden, which provides many of the meals. They are slowly integrated changes like eating vegan, going plastic-free, and buying organic and saving $18,000 a year as a result of this lifestyle.

We volunteer every first Sunday of the month from 9 to 11 am at San Dieguito County Park. We will be removing invasive species and/or planting native species, anything the park needs to keep on being a enjoyable natural space.

Kids are allowed under adults supervision. Feel free to bring a friend too.
