Diane Devereaux is a Michigan native who has lived in the Greater Grand Rapids area for more than a decade. As a teen, she enjoyed raising hogs and beef cattle in northern Michigan – all the while enjoying the splendors of being a part of her high school cheerleading squad and cross country team.
Diane started Canning one summer as a thirteen year old girl. She immediately grew a passion for the art. In addition to the family’s garden, she grew her very own garden at the mere age of 15! It was at this young age that she learned the benefits of natural pest control; crop rotation and healthy soil factors; heirloom seed production and collection; healthy meal creation and, of course, preserving her garden’s beautiful bounty.
After receiving a Bachelor’s Degree in International Business from Davenport University, Diane spent several years developing her talent for business, all the while enjoying her true passion for gardening and preserving.
Diane is an avid supporter of non-GMO seeds/products and advocates the growth of crops without chemicals, pesticides and genetic manipulation. She is a firm believer in consumers having the right to know the contents of what they ingest and is a proud supporter of honest and forthright labeling of all foods. It is because of this belief she chooses to Can throughout the year, stacking the cards in her favor, to provide a healthy lifestyle for herself and her family.
