Greetings! I’m Valencia aka Organic Chew Mom (OCM), Founder of Organic Chew Kitchen (OCK), the space within my home where I provide tasty organic sustenance and healthy meals for my tribe 🧔🏾👩🏾 🧑🏾🦱👶🏾 . I created this blog to share recipes and raise awareness about food ingredients that matter and support healthy outcomes. I’m a married full-time working mother of two beautiful and loving sons, so being able to provide quick meals without sacrificing nutritional value and minus the toxic unnecessary additives is very important to me. My interest in nutrition as preventative medicine and my young sons have been the inspiration behind my organic lifestyle enthusiasm and advocacy.
My increased enthusiasm for organic foods and incorporation of them as a standard lifestyle started with the birth of my first son. I chose to normalize breastfeeding both of my sons well into toddlerhood (3-4+ years) and was adamant about continuing to provide the most naturally produced and “free” foods as possible beyond infancy. Being a vigilant label reader helps me to make conscious food choices and rule out food-like products containing artificial flavors, artificial colors, high fructose corn syrup and other unfavorable additives.
I look forward to sharing OCK mindful meal planning and eating with simple and conscious ingredients.
Organically yours,
—Valencia Humphrey, MSc., DrPH (c)
