I grew up on a farm in Northern California. After moving to Oregon for school, I sustained my passion for gardening with what little space I had, from indoor herbs and ornamentals, to a small raised bed in the front yard. My husband and I moved to the San Joaquin Valley for a job, and we are now working to produce as much of our own food as possible. We have two dogs, two cats, 17 chickens and counting, two sheep, a goat, and the list is continuing to grow.
