Frankie-Lou Nelligan
At the Grow To Gather Homestead we do our best to create food, fun and a sustainable lifestyle while always taking each day’s chance to grow together. Frankie-Lou and Angus are a mother and son team who have a small acreage in zone 3 Southern Alberta. We try our best to capture our daily homesteading duties and will show you how easy and fun it can be to do many of these things yourself. We hope you will enjoy spending time in our garden, kitchen, greenhouse, coops, bee yard and Alberta’s great outdoors with us.
