(now from the bookback)
Marcia Neely worked as a public health nurse during her younger to middle adult years. In 1993, she and her husband, John, who had been a newpaper publisher, moved to the country near Benson, Minnesota. Moving down the ladder of success as defined by society, they discovered a love for a more organic life, informed by their natural surroundings.
Marcia has been growing and learning about herbs since her move to the country. She grows herbs and vegetables using a sustainable approach, produces hand-made soaps, and makes beeswax candles from the wax created by the honey bees her husband keeps.
Marcia and John continue to live near Benson with their three miniature dashshunds and two cats, where Marcia operates a small country store called "Honey and Herbs."
Doug Peterson is a gardener, woodworker, and artist who lives near Watson, Minnesota.
