Meet the expert

Hi, I’m Paulette,

I built the Lefever Holbrook Ranch, a 700 acre ranch in eastern Washington.

For the last 30 years, I have developed a vast array of knowledge, spanning from animal husbandry, master gardening, homesteading, business development, and everything it takes to run a self sufficient ranch.

Now I would like to share this knowledge more broadly, reaching a wider audience so I may help the next generation of farmers and those interested in sustainable practices.
