What kind of HOMEGROWN are you?: Dirt Under My Fingernails City Slicker

A bit about me:: I'm learning the ropes as a 4th-generation farmer with family in California's central valley. I love my often stressful but always fascinating job, my kick-ass chef husband, my twitchy cat, learning about home remedies, hiking/camping/general digging of the outdoors, and playing in the dirt.

Latest greatest meal cooked at home:: My partner is a chef so I tend to be more of a "latest greatest meal eaten at home" kinda girl.

Currently reading:: at least three books

Currently listening to:: anything I can get my hands on

My latest DIY project:: Don't have one yet! Help me homegrown people, you're my only DIY hope.

How did you find HOMEGROWN.org?: Farm Aid email

Web site I recommend:: http://www.californiawateralliance.org/
