Hey! I'm Mary Julia.

Welcome to Wild Garden Farms.

It's been a long and winding road, but every passion I've had and job I've held has led me to Wild Garden Farms. I have my Masters in Education from Wake Forest University with a focus in Curriculum Development, am a National Board and Duke Certified Health & Wellness Coach, and a Community Herbalist. I taught high school for 7 years before shifting my attention to wellness coaching in order to bring health and balance to my own life. I apprenticed for 7 years with a local herbalist, Suki Roth, and am now growing an herb, veggie and fruit farm on my land with my husband. By the Eno River, Wild Garden Farms is a space for community, growth and love of all natural gifts from God. I am and always have been a teacher at heart, so my herbal menu plans, recipe books and spotlight courses are the natural combination of my love for teaching, nature, health, and desire to grow self-sufficient families and community.
