We were recently contacted by Jean Stark, an editor at Happy DIY Home, who suggested an article she researched on growing strawberries. Although we rarely suggest websites with heavy advertising (and this site is distractingly peppered with ads, unfortunately), the content is well researched. Founder Jen Stark (perhaps related to Jean?) is a master gardener, interior designer and home improvement expert. She has completed many home improvement, decor and remodeling projects with her family over the past 10 years on their 4,500 sf Victorian house. She is also a passionate farmer who keeps goats, chickens, turkeys cows and pigs on her farm, and an instructor for her community’s Organic and Sustainable Farming project.

Another team member is Elizabeth Waddington, Permaculture Designer and Environmental Consultant. Elizabeth is a smallholder, permaculture designer and environmental consultant. When not designing food producing systems or advising growers around the world, she is to be found in her own garden. On her 1/3 of an acre patch of land she has a walled forest garden orchard (home to rescue chickens), a polyculture vegetable plot, a polytunnel, wildlife pond, wild woodland garden and more and is working every day towards greater self-sufficiency. She is passionate about sustainability and loves to inspire others about the wonderful things home gardeners can do for people and planet. Three other contributors are Brandye Barrington, a Home Remodeling Contractor, and Kaila Krayewski and Cailey Johanna Theissen.
