Bio
Stacey Antine, MS, RDN
Justin grew up gardening with his father as a young child and his knowledge about how-to organic garden is superior and better than anything you will read in text! I call him the plant whisperer because he has an intuitive sense of all plants, but especially edible ones and he loves to share this knowledge with the kids who come to HealthBarn USA as well as adults venturing into gardening for the first time! He has great ideas and is very practical in his approach to growing food, I highly recommend him.

Healthy lifestyle education program for kids and their parents. I work with kids on a farm! We pick and plant fruits, vegetables, and herbs. The kids help prepare meals, learn about nutrition and healthy eating, as well as participate in various other activities. I get to garden and cook....works for me. The kids are a bonus!
