After years working as a public servant in a small California, beachside community, Starla has retired to Washington State to live out her homesteader dream along with her family. It is there you will find her tending bees, wrangling chickens, gardening, hunting, baking, preserving food, making soap and medicinal balms and salves as she studies to become a certified herbalist. She is also a licensed Amateur Radio Operator who hopes to have her own “Ham Shack” in the near future. She and her family are currently building toward teaching others vital skills of self sufficiency.
