About Jim & Mary

Jim and Mary are published authors of two books, Growing Simple, chronicling the story of building their first farm – and Raised Row Gardening, a complete how-to step by step full color book on how to create the ideal low-maintenance, no-till garden.

The couple resides on their 46 acre farm in Quaker City in East-Central Ohio. In addition to publishing their books and writing for their home and garden websites, they have turned their farm into a destination space to share their love of gardening with others – including summer garden tours, garden events, overnight cabin rentals and event space rentals.
