Her creative interests range from being a professional cook to beekeeper and a cheese and salumi maker. When not at St. Francis, you can find Heather caring for her orchards and gardens accompanied by her four legged friends and constant companions Col-c, a black lab, and Mano, a very large Rhodesian ridgeback.
