About me

Gender Female
Occupation Marketing Director-Sappington Farmers market
Location Southeast Missouri
Introduction I'm active at gardening, swimming and kayaking. The river runs outside my door. I grow a large portion of my own food, processing it by canning, freezing and drying. I especially love to grow heirloom varieties of veggies. I had an herb business for 35 years, and have recently retired from that to devote more time to my job as marketing director for a large grocery store/farmers market. My siblings and I had an interesting childhood. Our father was a scientist and shared his love of biology and the natural world with us while our mother shared her love of drama, reading and music. I'm very involved with independent family farm issues and spend much of my time as secretary of Missouri Farmers Union fighting CAFOS, NAIS, monopolies and especially GMOs.
