In 2014 she took a 2 year sabbatical for a mix of learning and teaching on farms in 18 different countries growing everything from vegetables and fruit to coffee, coconuts and more. She worked and lived on more than 200 farms and learned invaluable lessons on growing in various climates and conditions using both traditional farming methods as well as modern techniques.

Vegetable & Herb Gardening with Joneve - great courses!

We thoroughly enjoyed the 101 and 201 classes with Joneve who spoiled us an abundance of her expert knowledge and tips for our humble organic vegetable gardens. She is quite engaging, entertained many questions, and brainstormed solutions to issues we have encountered. We were blown away with the depth of her expertise and willingness to share. As the former long term resident farmer at a nearby Michelin rated restaurant, manager of farms, combined with international studies abroad - Joneve is the real deal. Her passion and enthusiasm is contagious and we feel more empowered and motivated to put into practice the possibilities learned from Joneve during the courses. We highly recommend her courses and the other offerings at Wild Root Apothecary!
