Shawna Powell-Blunt has built a career working in higher education for almost 30 years after obtaining a Mathematics degree in Operations Research. She has volunteered as the Treasurer for her daughter’s Girl Scout troop for each of the past 6 years. Growing things comes naturally to Shawna who had grandparents who owned a farm and a father who was always growing tomatoes in the back yard, along with whatever else she and her siblings wanted to try growing. Backyard gardening has been a hobby for as long as she has had a backyard, and seems to expand each year. Favorite veggie grown at Barron Creek Farm is not a veggie at all, but that beautiful red fruit – tomatoes, of course – along with the basil to go with them.
