Spring Ed Speaker: Jason Walker-Woodlief

WHO WE ARE
Jason and I were residing in South Carolina when our
curiosity about pursuing a farming venture reached its
peak, especially since both of us had diverse career
backgrounds. Growing up with farming roots through my
grandparents instilled in me a deep appreciation for the
achievements and pride that come from nurturing
something to life. Together, we made the decision to
embark on this journey.
WHY WE DID IT
Jason and I selected lavender because, as we explored our
options, it increasingly appealed to us as a viable
alternative to traditional farming. Lavender is an
extraordinary plant, known for its remarkable variety,
resilience, and versatility. For many years, these qualities
have made it highly sought after for its numerous benefits.

Spring Ed Speaker: Janine Washle
“The Flavor Queen”

The beginning of the “The Flavor Queen” … Moving to Virginia from southern Germany when she was almost 6 and gaining her U.S. citizenship by 16, she embraced her new southern roots by creating menus with her sister and helping her mother cook the weeknight meals. Her love of food began at an early age when her mom would let her plant her own garden with whatever she liked if she learned how to cook and eat what she planted. Okra was one of her first choices. Neither she nor her mother had ever heard of it much less knew what to do with it. It was one of her first culinary adventures and a subsequent disaster after letting the pods grow to nearly 12” in length! This fueled her desire to learn about ingredients, cooking techniques, and traditions, especially those of the south. In fact, she will be the first to tell you that there are quite a few similarities between the cuisine of southern Germany and the southern United States – whether it is jowl meat, or dumplings!

Her love affair of Farm Life Began …Washle lived on a century old farmstead in Kentucky, which she named CloverFields. The McGuffin house, the original farmhouse, is a registered state landmark. On almost 200 acres she raised bees and collected their honey, harvested hay from native grasses. There was a large garden where heirloom vegetables were grown; many of them from seeds she saved year to year. She held classes and hosted parties/events. … See MoreSee Less
