Simone Baker grew up on a small family farm in North Carolina, where she learned from her grandmother that the freshest meals come straight from the garden. After studying culinary arts and sustainable agriculture, she spent eight years developing recipes that celebrate seasonal produce. Simone now grows varieties of vegetables on her small farm, transforming each harvest into nourishing meals. She also shares her expertise through workshops, writing, and her blog. Simone believes everyone deserves to experience the joy of eating food they’ve grown themselves.
