Hi! I’m Willi Galloway. I got the idea for DigginFood while I was harvesting some greens. I was thinking about what I was going to make for dinner and I realized that I read tons of gardening and cooking blogs, but none of them focus on my favorite thing to do: cooking with food fresh from the garden.  So I decided to create a site where I could blog about what was happening in my garden and kitchen, share growing guides and recipes for my favorite foods, and tell stories about other people who like to grow and eat real food.

I’ve been gardening my whole life and learned to love cooking in my Junior High Home Economics class (thanks, Mrs. Schaefer!). I’m lucky enough to actually get paid to travel around and think, read, talk, day dream and write about gardening, because I’m the West Coast Editor of Organic Gardening magazine and the Garden Expert on eHow.com. I also am a weekly guest on Seattle’s KUOW 94.9 gardening program, Greendays and I speak at gardening events around the country.

In my spare time, I volunteer as a Master Gardener and am on the Board of Directors of Seattle Tilth, a super cool non-profit that teaches people how to garden organically and grow their own food.

My husband Jon and I grow vegetables, herbs, fruit, and flowers in our neighborhood community garden and in our backyard, which we share with four pet chickens and our big, dumb lab.

If you have an idea that you think I should write about on DigginFood, please drop me a line at info@digginfood.com.
