Wow! This has to be one of the most diverse and innovative farms I have ever seen! Joseph and Tawna Chammas of Gratitude Garden Farm have created an oasis in South Florida and I’m very grateful to see the amazing farm they have built over the last 10+ years! Everything from microgreens, tropical fruit forests, exotic mushrooms production, medicinal turmeric production, medicinal extracts, vegetable marketing gardening AND a retreat center! Everything they grow is certified organic and focused on the health benefits and medicinal uses of the crops grown. All this on 5 acres in South Florida. I was blown away at what Joseph and Tawna have build and you will be too!

About Me:
As a young child, Jonah Krochmalnek, the visionary founder of Living Earth Farm, experienced the sheer delight of a ripe homegrown tomato from his dad's garden. It was a taste of pure magic, a simple pleasure he wanted to make accessible to all.

​After leaving the corporate world, Jonah volunteered at a local farm, igniting his passion for farming. In 2013, he took a leap of faith and launched a microgreens business right out of his parents' modest 150 sqft spare room. Little did he know that this humble beginning would grow into the 5000 sqft facility known today as Living Earth Farm – one of Canada's premier organic microgreen growers.

​Driven by the purpose of feeding people the absolute most nutritious greens, Jonah's journey is a testament to the transformative power of growing food. Through personalized consultations and impactful coaching, Jonah is on a mission to share his wealth of knowledge, helping vertical farms across the globe thrive and making delicious, simple food accessible to communities everywhere.
