JC Jaress

I'm JC, and I grow things: heirloom tomatoes, cucumbers, peaches, and ideas. My farm-fresh project started with Baker Creek seeds and grew into sprouting sales, canning tutorials, and soil-building workshops. I also wrote "Never Say Should," a book about dropping expectations and asking for what you actually want. If I'm not tending the garden, I'm probably smoking something with a Marina di Chioggia squash or flipping pancakes on a Saturday. Ask me about growing heirloom vegetables, soil building, canning and preserving, and the ideas behind "Never Say Should."
