I’m Abby! A Feb. 29th Double Pisces Chelmsfordian which is basically the universe’s way of saying I was born to live between the lines. As a Leapling, I’ve always known that reality is flexible. Most people need a 10-page business plan to feel safe, I operate on a different frequency: If the vibes say go, I’m stepping onto a bridge only I can see—and that’s exactly how Graze came to be.
This journey actually started back in 2018 as Grazing Platterboards (RIP). But eventually, the universe gave me a nudge: my commercial kitchen space was no longer an option, and I found myself at a crossroads. I could either let the dream fade or build a permanent home for it. I chose the bridge.
The 2022 timeline that followed was a beautiful, hormonal, high-stakes fever dream. I welcomed my son on August 15th (sharing a birthday with my dad!), signed a three-year lease for my very own storefront just two weeks later, and opened our doors on December 2nd to catch the Chelmsford Tree Lighting magic.
To some, it looked reckless. To me, it was the only way forward. My path has never been a straight line; it’s a collection of textures. I studied horticulture and floriculture, dreamed of florist shops, and even considered becoming a greenskeeper—partly for the love of the land, but mostly because I was told it was a “man’s world.” (Spoiler: I’ve always liked those odds.)
Whether I was nannying, earning my M.Ed., or studying the soil, I was always learning how to nurture growth. Today, all those pieces of me have merged. Instead of flowers or fairways, I’m landscaping boards for your date nights, weddings, and housewarmings (even though I don’t eat them myself).
I’m growing this business slowly, learning the art of being a boss, and doing pretty damn good—especially considering 2025 was the certified Year from Hell. I’m just now escaping the wreckage of that year, and while the start of 2026 has been pure, unadulterated chaos, I’m finally starting to see the light.
I pack a lot a living into a week—hence the impromptu adventures. I post a new blog every Sunday night. If you want to peer through the veil and vicariously live through my chaos, come join the journey! Ok BYE!
