Biography:

I'm a homesteader on 58 acres of swamp, woods, and garden in southwest Virginia. I was a biology major in college, but specialized in plants and somehow missed out on insects. Since starting to farm, though, insects have taken on a lot more importance in my life. We've started keeping bees and paying more attention to the good and bad bugs around the farm.
