“I'm trying to bring back a way of living where we know the people who feed us.”
I'm Kelsey Richard. What started as wanting to eat better for baseball led me to growing food, learning about soil, and getting to know local farmers.
I couldn't produce everything for everyone. But I could help connect families with the people already doing the work—and help them grow some of their own.
Beef, gardens, prairie seeds, and the little quail all belong to that same vision. A stronger connection between our food, our neighbors, and our land.

Founder Bon Vivre
What Is The Cajun Prairie?
The Louisiana Cajun Prairie boasts an ancient ecosystem where millions of free-roaming buffalo once lived, feeding on the native prairie grasses that sustained countless native animals and pollinators.
Future Food Security In Question
A central focus of Bon Vivre is to initiate support for farmers in regenerating their soils. This step is vital for safeguarding our regional food supply and ensuring that farmland remains under the control of Louisiana families. Achieving this goal necessitates the revitalization of local supply chains and markets. As we are far removed from past practices, it's imperative to swiftly return to them.
What's The Point?
This journey was initially started to address the need for food security within households. Through hands-on experience in cultivating food, we recognized the flaws inherent in the existing food system. Recognizing the potential to empower others, we aim to disseminate this knowledge widely, advocating for home food production. The overarching goal is to educate Americans and bridge the gap between local producers and consumers.
