About the Sunshine Farm

Hi! My name is Jenn and I am the garden lover behind Sunshine Farm. I live on a small hobby farm with my husband, Chris, and our toddler, Malachi. 

When we moved to the farm many years ago, we knew nothing about growing our own food. In 2018, that all changed. That year I started my first garden by tilling a 30'x50' plot and planting crops in rows. That year it all seemed so complicated and we were quickly overrun with weeds, pests, and disease. 

I knew there had to be a better way. 

I began to learn about permaculture and no-till methods, and it just made sense. 

So I kept soaking it all in, and we began planning our new and improved garden space using a variety of different no-till approaches. 

I read about Ruth Stout, Charles Dowding, the Back to Eden method. I learned about Hugelkultur and lasagna gardening, and the 12 principles of permaculture. 

I think back to the girl I was when I first started and I want to help people just like that. Those who feel like there has to be a better way. Because there is!

Since then, I discovered a love and passion for teaching others all about it. I think back to the girl I was when I first started and I want to help people just like that. Those who feel like there has to be a better way. Because there is!

Finding the method of growing food that works WITH nature instead of against it, changes everything. I hope being here you can take some of that with you and apply it in your own backyard. 

Happy Gardening!
Jenn
