You’ll see why “healthy” isn’t found in a pill or a package, and how simple it can be to grow, cook, and live in a way that actually feels good.

5 Days, Just 90 Minutes a Day
December 1st-5th, 2025 | FREE TO JOIN
A homegrown lifestyle is the BEST WAY to protect your family's health.
Why? Well...
- Our modern food system is failing families and wreaking havoc on your health.
- Convenience culture has made you dependent on a system that doesn’t prioritize your well-being by stealing the essential skills you once relied on and leaving you feeling helpless.
- Chronic illnesses like diabetes, heart disease, hormone issues and autoimmune conditions are skyrocketing, and it’s all tied to how we live and eat.
- You don’t need a green thumb, culinary degree or acres of land to dramatically improve your family’s health and resilience.
- A quiet movement is happening: women everywhere are taking back control of their food, health, and home. You can be part of it, without the confusion or overwhelm.
You can finally stop wasting time on random blogs and Pinterest rabbit holes...
because the Seeking Simplicity Challenge will show you how to reclaim your family’s health and start your homegrown life in just 5 days.
Join us for a one-week live challenge that will change how you see homegrown living and show you exactly where to begin.
5 Days, 5 Lessons, 5 Simple Steps for a Healthier, More Intentional Life (On Your Terms).
Starting Monday, December 1st, I'll be teaching a live lesson each day at 2:00 p.m. EST/ 11:00am PT for 90 minutes of teaching and coaching.
Each session follows my S.E.E.D.S. framework: a simple, five-part path that’s helped thousands of women move from “I wish I could [garden/bake fresh bread/ raise chickens]…” to “I’m finally doing it.”
Recordings will stay free for through the weekend if you can’t make it live, but every day builds on the last, so showing up in real time is the fastest way to break through fear, confusion, and overwhelm.
The challenge is free to join. Upgrade to the VIP Experience on the next page for lifetime access to the recordings, daily VIP coaching sessions, and a physical copy of my brand-new book.
Day 1 | S: See the Truth
Wake up to what’s really happening to our food and our health.
You’ll discover why the modern food system is quietly failing families like yours. By the end, you’ll believe you can change your family’s future health, and you’ll see, with real numbers, how even small steps like a kitchen garden, fresh eggs or more meals from scratch could add healthy years to your life.
Day 2 | E: Easy Wins First
Start small, but smart. Pick the changes with the biggest health payoff.
You’ll uncover the single first change that will make the biggest impact on your family’s health, no perfection required. You’ll leave knowing exactly where to start and feel confident it’s doable right now.
Day 3 | E: Evaluate What's Feeding Your Family
Map your starting line; no shame, just clarity.
We’ll audit your pantry, dinners, and daily minutes to see what’s really feeding your family. You’ll name the resistance stories that keep you stalled, choose the smartest health‑first starting path, and take one tiny, visible action today, so momentum feels safe, simple, and real.
Day 4 | D: Dependable Support
Real change sticks when you have community and a clear path.
You’ll see why trying to piece this together alone leads to burnout and wasted time. Discover what trusted support, proven resources, and community look like, and why they’re your shortcut to success.
Day 5 | S: Sow Your 90-Day Plan
Turn what you’ve learned into action to create your first real season of change.
You’ll leave with a clear, actionable 90-day plan to begin your homegrown living journey. No vague “someday”. Just a solid first season mapped out and an understanding of what support will keep you going.
Hello, I'm Shelby!
I’m here to guide you toward a life filled with fresh food, homemade meals, and meaningful moments, blending timeless traditions with modern simplicity.
I grew up learning the joy of a hands-on, homegrown lifestyle—mornings spent in the garden, evenings making meals from scratch. I've grown gardens that put fresh food on my table, raised all of the farm animals and mastered traditional skills that allow me to truly nurture my family. I’ve lived this lifestyle in every way possible, and I know what it’s like to juggle it all while raising a family and staying busy.
But getting started can feel overwhelming—trust me, I’ve been there. It’s easy to wonder if you’ll have the time, space, or skills to grow your own food, bake delicious meals, or incorporate traditional skills into your life. I’m here to show you that it’s not only possible, but that it can fit seamlessly into your busy life with the right guidance.
With my agricultural science background (a B.S. in Animal and Dairy Science and an M.S. in Agriculture), 6.5 years of teaching high school and college agriculture courses, and decades of personal experience, I’ve helped thousands of women just like you build confidence in creating a lifestyle that’s rooted in health, joy, and simplicity.
After a major health scare in 2020, I realized how powerful these practices are for supporting overall wellness. Now, I’m on a mission to teach this lifestyle in a way that not only feeds your family but also nourishes your health and happiness.
Whether you’re planting your first seed, baking your first loaf of sourdough, or just trying to figure out where to start, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
Let’s take that first step together!
AS FEATURED IN...
JOIN US DECEMBER 1-5, 2025
The most meaningful step you’ll take for your family this year.
Imagine a home rhythm that feels anchored and nourished...fresh bread on the counter, herbs within reach, calmer dinners without scrolling Pinterest for the perfect recipe. If past attempts fizzled or life got busy, this week re‑sets the pattern. In five days, we’ll turn intention into elegant, repeatable habits that fit your schedule so they actually last.
It’s time to create a plan that works for your life.
During the Seeking Simplicity Challenge, we use our SEEDS framework: See the truth, pick Easy wins, Evaluate what’s feeding your family, secure Dependable support, and Set your 90‑day plan.
You’ll leave with clarity, a visible first win, and the confidence to keep going, no rabbit holes, plus simple next steps that fit into 10–30 minutes a day and make a real difference in your family’s health and happiness.
"I really wanted to create a lifestyle that was better for my kids. For me, that meant more homegrown food and eliminating a lot of the processed junk from their diet. My mom cooked everything from a box, much less cook with fresh ingredients. I didn't have the tools or knowledge and that's where the Academy and learning from Shelby has been a game changer for us."
–Laura Brown
Here's What Women Are Saying About the Seeking Simplicity Challenge...
Is this for me?
Most likely, YES!
(Especially if at least one of these sounds like you…)
You want to grow some of your own food, even if it’s just a few raised beds or pots on a patio, so you know what’s really going on your family’s table.
You’re dreaming about keeping a few backyard chickens for fresh eggs (or maybe someday goats, bees, or other small livestock)
You’d love to cook and bake with real, wholesome ingredients instead of relying on ultra-processed convenience foods.
You’re tired of feeling confused and overwhelmed by Pinterest, blogs, and conflicting advice; you just want a clear, simple way to begin.
You care deeply about your family’s health and resilience and want to make meaningful changes without uprooting your entire life.
You crave a community of like-minded women who value tradition, simplicity, and health, but don’t expect perfection.
This challenge is not for you if…
- You’re determined to go completely off-grid or pursue a hardcore survivalist/prepper lifestyle.
- You’re only interested in stockpiling food for emergencies, not building a sustainable, joyful way of living.
- You want a magic shortcut that requires no time or effort to change how you eat, live, and feed your family.
If you dream of evenings spent in the garden, being able to collect fresh eggs or bake fresh bread, go ahead and sign up now!
"My day job is busy and sometimes stressful. I wanted a way to slow down at the end of the day and really be more intentional with my life. I knew a farm and garden was the way to do that. When my husband and I bought our small farm, we were totally clueless. Shelby and the Academy taught me so much about not just how to start a garden and a small farm, but how to do it in a way that wasn't stressful but instead gave me peace of mind and a way to unwind and enjoy myself in a way that was meaningful."
–Jenny Inker
Frequently Asked Questions
THE TIME WON'T WORK FOR ME AT 12 PM EST. CAN I STILL PARTICIPATE?
Yes!
While the challenge will begin every day at 12 PM Eastern, you'll still be able to watch the replays if you can't attend. That said, please make EVERY EFFORT to attend on time as you'll benefit greatly from how interactive the challenge is. If you simply cannot make a session, you'll want to be sure to watch the replay later the same day so you don't fall behind.
HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR THE
CHALLENGE?
The best way to get the most out of the Seeking Simplicity Challenge is to set aside time each day to fully engage with the live lessons and Q&A sessions if you have a VIP ticket. Here’s how you can prepare:
1️⃣ Mark Your Calendar: Block off 12:00 - 1:30 p.m. ET from December 1st-5th to join the live sessions. If you upgrade to VIP, the daily Q&A sessions will start right after the general session.
2️⃣ Create a quiet space: Find a spot where you can focus, take notes, and reflect on what you’re learning without interruptions.
3️⃣ Print the workbook! The challenge workbook isn't just a pretty collection of papers. It's a tool that we'll use and reference frequently during the challenge, so you'll want to have it handy.
Even if life gets busy, try to watch each lesson that day (even if it's the replay) to avoid getting behind. What we're sharing builds on each other and it's truly life changing!

"I wish I had discovered Shelby DeVore when I started gardening last year. The courses that she teaches are both informative and inspiring! In her classes, she does a great job of giving you the nuts and bolts for gardening and explains complex topics simply and clearly. I was armed with much better information to get started this year and I can finally stop Googling the things that are not going quite right in the garden."
