I LOVE to cook and grow food, and have cooked professionally at one point in my life.  (Recently foraged nettles while on a hike and came home and made homemade ricotta-nettle ravioli). I'm adept at canning and preserving food. I've been a freelance photo stylist in commercial photography for almost 35 years and I'm ready to do something more. I love to travel and have traveled to Europe extensively.  I have WWOOF'd in Italy and France, taking care of sheep & horses, cats and dogs, bed and breakfast, cooking, gardening, cleaning, ironing, etc. etc.  During Covid Quarantine I stayed at my family's farm in South Dakota, and was able to reestablish my Mom's perennial gardens, as well as build two waist-high growing boxes, a... read more
