She wrote the book, Grow Your Own Spices, which is available for pre-order, where Tasha hands you everything you need to know to grow a thriving spice garden, with practical tips and in-depth advice on cultivating over 30 different spices.

Her goal when creating her website was the share some of her experience homesteading for pleasure while increasing self-sufficiency. She also wanted to let people know that homesteading doesn’t have to be hard work. It can be easy, relaxing, joyful, and satisfying.
