I have been studying herbalism for over 30 years. I worked for 7 years with a mail order herbal company in CA in the 1990's; when that company closed I decided that someday I would have my own company utilizing my herbal background. When I moved to WA in 2004 I knew that I wanted to start that business now. In the past I have been chairperson for the Relay for Life event in Sebastopol, CA where we raised $57,000 for the American Cancer Society; up from the $19,000 they had raised the previous year. I volunteered in the market office and at market last year and am looking forward to an even more exciting season this year.

I have been married 56 years to my high school sweetheart, Blayne. We have 4 children, 13 grandchildren and 7+1 coming in April great-grandchildren. Blayne and I moved to Walla Walla 11 years ago. We became a part of the market the year it started. Blayne was born and raised on a farm in Iowa and has always done something with growing. He now has 3 small greenhouses and enjoys raising bedding plants to sell and for his garden.
When I was 8 years old we had a polio epidemic in Iowa. My Mother shipped me back to my Aunt in New York State. She didn't know what to do with an 8 year old so she taught me to knit and crochet. These are skills that I have used and enjoyed for the rest of my life.
