The Creation |
When Shari bought the 20 acres in Malta it was acres and acres of weeds and trees. It was not even possible to see or know that a pond was hidden somewhere out there. After having local contractors shred and disc the property is when the idea came to Shari to have a u-pick berry farm. Little did Shari know that 7 years later she would be living at the farm and the u-pick berry farm would be such a success. Garden of Eden Farm has 3 acres of thorn less blackberries plants, 3 acres of blueberry plants and in 2008 raspberries were added. There are many buildings on the farm and a 20x 30 office building. The two concrete domes are very interesting to everyone. One is for storage and the other 25 foot diameter dome is the market for the farm where many things are sold during the year. After Shari started the Publishing and Printing company in 2008, she was really busy and had to make a difficult decision. She couldn't do it all by herself. She closed the berry farm to spend all her time writing, publishing and printing for the surrounding community business, groups and non-profit organizations. She gave away most of the berry plants in December 2009. In 2007, Shari published her first cookbook, Garden of Eden Edibles. It was a great success and she wanted to publish cookbooks for churches and groups. In 2008 she published Kitchen Creations from Malta Baptist Church. The business grew and the following cookbooks were done in a matter of 6 months. Cook for the Cure, raising money for Breast Cancer Research, Cooking with the Oldies, to raise scholarship funds for DeKalb High School students, and the New Boston Heritage Cookbook, a fund raiser for the Chamber of Commerce of New Boston and the Genealogy Society of New Boston. Shari publishes for other groups, Old Union Cemetery Book for the Old Union Cemetery Association and Genealogy books for individuals. She designs and publishes directories, brochures and calendars. In 2010, she designed and gave out 2010 The Year of the Herbs. It was a calendar with different herbs for each month, how to identify them, grow them and also a recipe for each. Shari has a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary education and a Masters Degree in Administration. She has been a professional public speaker for 25 years and wrote and taught numerous workshops for business skills and personal growth. Now she has decided to write and publish books on those subjects. She wants to help others grow in their professional skills and life skills. She is writing This Is Your Book!, Step by step workbook to write your book. This workbook is complete with all the details and step by step instructions and guides to writing your own book. It is a large workbook that allows the reader to write in the workbook and follow each step to the completion of their book. It will be released in August. Another workbook Shari is writing and publishing is How to Make $ at Craft and Trade Shows. Shari has years of experience with craft and trade shows and this is the workbook with designs for your booth, helpful hints and secrets to help you sell products to your customers. It will be released soon. SHARI HAS ALL THE EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES TO DO ANY JOB A PRINTER, DESIGNER AND PUBLISHER CAN DO RIGHT IN HER LARGE OFFICE ON HER 20 ACRE FARM.
