~Friends Of Living Well With Suzanne Rodgers~

Sarah Yates

Sarah is first & foremost a mom to two boys, Will (9) and Thomas (5). Sarah is an instructional coach at a large school district in St. Louis County. In her spare time, Sarah is driven to create & nourish a healthy family through research, relationships with local farms, and real meals focused on fresh, seasonal ingredients.

For the women of Ignite Your Life Retreats, Sarah will focus on the why, the what, and the how of providing farm to table foods for your own family. Why we should all be investing in local farms (and our own nutrition in general!), what regenerative agriculture is, and how you can become a supporter of the farm to table movement without being a farmer or even knowing a farmer! Terms like grass-fed, pasture-raised, and organic are also rage right now; Sarah will explain these terms & why they matter. Sarah will give you the tools to start your own Radical Health movement in your kitchen today.
