Dubbed “queen of the coop” by the media, Lisa and her work have been recognized by many national media outlets, including the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Country Woman, Parade, and others. As a television and radio personality, Lisa has appeared on the Hallmark Channel’s Home & Family, Martha Knows Best on HGTV, P. Allen Smith’s Garden Home, and NPR’s Maine Calling. She has hosted the New England regional Emmy-nominated television show Welcome to My Farm for two seasons.

Lisa lives in the woods of Maine with her husband, their corgi, barn cat, and her “girls”—a mixed flock of about thirty chickens, ducks, and geese.
