Linda Ly

As the voice behind the award-winning blog gardenbetty.com, Linda Ly has been sharing her experiences and expertise in edible gardening, food preserving, farm-to-table cooking, and outdoor adventuring with a global audience since 2010. Her love for food is inspired by her modern homestead in Central Oregon, where she grows hundreds of vegetables, fruits, and herbs, raises a flock of chickens, and attempts to craft a more sustainable and "simple" life, though anyone who tends a homestead knows it's anything but simple! Garden Betty was honored as the "Best Gardening Blog" by Country Living and a "Top 10 Gardening Blog" by Better Homes and Gardens. Linda, her blog, and her books have been featured in Time, Outside, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, Food & Wine, and Martha Stewart. Her bestselling books include The No-Waste Vegetable Cookbook, The Backyard Fire Cookbook, The New Camp Cookbook, and The CSA Cookbook. The New Camp Cookbook was hailed as Amazon's "Best Book of the Month" and PureWow's "Best Book of the Year" and continues to be an Amazon Editor's Pick, five years in a row. Linda lives in Bend with her photographer husband and their adventurous kiddos. Beyond the homestead, the outdoor-loving family enjoys snowboarding, mountain biking, canoeing, and camping and hiking all over the Pacific Northwest.
