Inspiration for Simpler Living with Shelby DeVore In this first issue of TFL Community Magazine, we’re happy to have Shelby DeVore, Owner and Founder of Farminence.com, as well as the Host and Founder of the Homestead Livestock Summit and the Backyard Vegetable Gardener’s Summit as our featured story. We sat down with Shelby and asked her about the things you want to know.
Help our readers get to know you by telling us a little about yourself.
My name is Shelby DeVore. I’ve been gardening and raising livestock for over 20 years. I grew up on a small hobby farm where we always had a big garden and livestock around. Now that I’m married and have three kids of my own, we like the idea of raising our kids as farm kids. I have a couple of degrees- a B.S. in Animal and Dairy Science from Mississippi State University (go Dawgs!) and a M.S. in Agriculture from the University of Tennessee. Before I started my business, I taught high school and college agriculture classes for several years. I’ve taught just about every ag. class out there, from veterinary medicine classes to greenhouse classes, ag. business classes and everything in between.
