Finding Inspiration in Every Turn
Everything Homemade is a family business in the Peace Region, 30 kilometres East of Grande Prairie. We raise our 6 children here, focusing on farm and homesteading activities, with the goal of being as self-sufficient as possible.
Our Story: From Homesteading to Queen Worm Farm
​
John and I met in September 2005 and married just two months later in November. From the very beginning, our lives changed rapidly, and together we built a life centered around family, hard work, and the land. What started as a simple homestead grew into something much more; our businesses, Everything Homemade and Kitties Home Away From Home, developed naturally over time without a formal plan, born out of our passion for serving others.
​
For over a decade, I’ve shared my knowledge of baking, cooking, gardening, and animal husbandry through my YouTube channel, Everything Homemade. My love for teaching even led me to become a published author of clean romance novels, cookbooks, and the Color and Learn Gardening curriculum for children—all available on Amazon today.
​
While I am often the face of our projects, John is the backbone of our farm. He works tirelessly behind the scenes, building the infrastructure that makes our growth possible. Alongside our children, his support and teamwork are the "secret ingredients" to our success.

The Evolution of Queen Worm Farm
Our journey into the world of beneficial insects began in 2024. It started simply: I began raising Red Wiggler worms to provide extra protein for my chickens. Before long, friends and neighbors began asking to buy them for their own composting bins. Sensing a need in our community, Queen Worm Farm was officially born.
​
As I continued to research the best nutrition for our feathered friends, I discovered that while worms are amazing for the soil, Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) are actually a superior food source for poultry and quail. In 2026, we expanded our operations to include BSFL.
​
Today, Queen Worm Farm serves a dual purpose for the North:
​
-
Red Wigglers: The gold standard for local composters looking to create "black gold" for their gardens.
-
Black Soldier Fly Larvae: A nutritional powerhouse specifically raised to feed and fuel your poultry, reptiles, and other critters.
We are proud to be a family-run business located near DeBolt, Alberta, dedicated to providing high-quality, locally-raised solutions for our northern communities. Thank you for being a part of our story!
