WHOKA is about us—our family who left the big city during COVID in search of a different way of life. We wanted to show our kids that there’s another path—one where you have the freedom to explore yourself and your passions. A life where we grow our own food, generate our own power, and learn to be truly self-sufficient.

There’s something incredible about being so close to your food—knowing exactly where it comes from, how it’s grown, and that it’s free from unnecessary chemicals. The flavors are richer, the nutrients are higher, and there’s a deep satisfaction in harvesting something you’ve nurtured from seed to plate.

But self-sufficiency isn’t just about personal benefits. If more people embraced this lifestyle, fewer trucks would be needed to haul food across the country, reducing pollution and easing the strain on our planet. By growing our own food and relying less on large supply chains, we lessen our environmental impact while gaining independence.

And then there’s the health aspect. Working with the land keeps us active, breathing fresh air, and moving our bodies in a natural way. We’re more in tune with the seasons, the rhythms of nature, and what our bodies truly need to thrive. It’s a lifestyle that nourishes not just our plates, but our minds and souls as well.

This journey isn’t about going back in time—it’s about moving forward with intention, making choices that benefit our family, our community, and the world around us.
