Jenni Rempel

Jenni Rempel is a passionate gardener, herbalist, and the author of The Homesteader Herbal Handbook. Jenni has been on a long journey towards good health, and it was her quest for natural healing that transformed her life and led her to become a dedicated gardener and an advocate of self-sufficient living. These themes underpin her work, which aims to help readers learn to be self-sufficient, and grow and preserve their own foods and remedies. Jenni has a background in business and has owned several successful companies, which has armed her with the skills she needed for methodical, step-by-step learning. She refers to herself as an ‘accidental homesteader’, having learned everything she knows about self-sufficient living through trial and error. She firmly believes that this has been the key to her success, and that homesteading is a state of mind – one that can be achieved by anyone. All too aware of the time investment required by trial-and-error learning, Jenni aims to make that journey easier for other people. She is dedicated to sharing everything she’s learned to help make the road to self-sufficiency easier for others, no matter how busy their lives are. Jenni has three grown-up children and is a grandmother to six delightful toddlers. She lives with her husband and two dogs on a hobby farm just outside of Vancouver. She loves nothing more than being at home with her family, living the simple life – and therefore living life to its fullest.
