Our Story

At Rockford Crunchy Ladies, we are dedicated to supporting women as they embrace a more natural, sustainable, and healthy way of living. Our nonprofit organization, located in Northern Illinois, offers a range of learning opportunities and resources to help women on their individual journeys.

In 2014, Marlana embarked on a journey to create a welcoming community for women who shared her passion for sustainable, healthy, and natural living. As a member of a military family, she acknowledged the challenges of finding genuine connections in new places. Motivated by her experiences, Marlana gathered a small group of friends, and together they launched Rockford Crunchy Ladies. What began as an intimate circle quickly blossomed into a vibrant community of like-minded individuals eager to share knowledge, support each other, and celebrate a lifestyle committed to environmental responsibility. Through workshops, meet-ups, and engaging discussions, Rockford Crunchy Ladies has become a cherished space for women to connect, learn, and thrive together, fostering friendships and encouraging holistic living in their shared pursuit of wellness.
