Abbey grew up on a small historic farm with her parents, five siblings, dogs, horses & her beloved chickens. Garden, animal care & homesteading skills were the norm. As a curious kid & skilled artist, she painted, sketched, and dug up buckets of buried “treasure” for art projects. Her treasure finds sparked curiosity of ancient culture & people. This art and digging later became a lab internship, field school accreditation & survey assistant applying anthropologic principles. She is now fluent in Spanish thanks to Dora the Explorer, curiosity for mankind, and language & culture studies. This combination serves her well as a small farmer & workshop co-host.

She applies her skills and knowledge gained from her farm adventures as a child, intimate experience supporting unseen disabilities, and the death of her Dad to applicable workshops. Today, Abbey’s is happiest when sharing with others the many ways plants, plant crafting & being in nature enriches lives and promotes physical and mental wellbeing.
