Behind the Blog

Hi, I’m Halli

I am so glad you are here!

I am a 4th generation gardener, soil health enthusiast, and founder of East Fork Growing. My great-grandmother had a beautiful garden and orchard. She grew almost all the food for her large family, and cooked delicious meals and desserts. I am fortunate to have her delicious apple dumpling recipe, and I love to make it for my family. I have been growing my own garden for over 15 years. Growing my own food, improving the soil, and feeding my family well are my passions.
