The Savvy Seed MamaMeet the Founder
Hi, I’m Renee—
the original Savvy Seed Mama.
I believe mothers can strengthen their homes, bless their communities and create meaningful income—all while helping families put food security back into their own hands.

“What began with small seeds, became a way to help families grow confidence, increase their preparedness capacity, elevate their families health, leverage their food security and build lasting hope.”
My story
This business grew from the life I was already living.
I am a mother of seven, a grandmother, and a longtime home educator. For many years, much of my life has centered on nurturing children, teaching practical skills and helping families recognize how capable they truly are.
In 2013, I began working with garden and herb seeds—growing, harvesting, cleaning, sorting, packaging, selling and shipping them. I also began organizing community group buys so families could purchase generous collections of heirloom, non-GMO garden, culinary-herb and medicinal-herb seeds at prices that made growing food more accessible.
The group buys worked because one caring woman would gather the families around her. Together, those families could receive far more seed value than many could obtain alone. Hosts helped organize their communities, and I supported them through each step.
Over the years, I saw that this was more than a seed order. It helped mothers feel prepared. It encouraged families to garden. It started conversations about medicinal herbs, perennial foods and food forests. Most importantly, it reminded people that they could do something practical to care for those they love.
A purpose taking root
Serena House grows
The Serena House of Wyoming food forest deepens her commitment to perennial food, herbs, education and family self-reliance.
The model is shared
The Savvy Seed Mama turns Renee’s years of group-buy experience into a supported home-business opportunity for other mothers.
Why I created this opportunity
I do not want another mom to feel that earning from home must mean doing everything alone.
The Savvy Seed Mama combines a proven seed-group-buy method with practical instructions, a simple online system and personal community support. My goal is to remove the overwhelming pieces so a mother can focus on relationships, service and steady growth.
Through the private Facebook training community, I will help Savvy Seed Mamas learn how to share the opportunity, support their families and Hosts, answer common questions and build confidence one group buy at a time.
A family mission
Seeds are only the beginning.
Families who receive seeds can also learn to combine annual gardens with perennial foods, medicinal herbs and food-forest design. Through Zesty Life Services educational programs, they may choose self-guided learning, group mentoring or one-on-one support from Renee and her experienced family team.
This is how one seed group buy can become the beginning of greater knowledge, nourishment and self-reliance for an entire household.
A personal invitation from Renee
If this speaks to your heart, I would love to help you explore it.
You do not need to know everything about seeds or business before beginning. You need a willing heart, a desire to serve families and the courage to take the first simple step.
