"The time spent with such lovely ladies was most nourishing on many levels. Meeting new friends was a real treat! Time spent preparing meals together and enjoying the fruit of our labor was so fulfilling! We were able to share our struggles and successes with one another in a very loving space and I'll always treasure our time together on the retreat."

Sophia Nguyen Eng is the best-selling author of The Nourishing Asian Kitchen cookbook. Sophia left a successful Silicon Valley career in growth marketing to start a 5-acre permaculture mini farm in the Appalachian region of eastern Tennessee.
She took a greater interest to better understand where her food comes from because it ties directly into health, and she wanted to provide the best for her family and community. While working in tech, Eng led successful growth marketing campaigns for startups and Fortune 500 companies like Workday, Autodesk, Smartsheet, and InVision, which led to opportunities to develop a certificate training program with CXL Institute and being a founder for the tech organization Women in Growth.
A sought-after speaker, she has presented at Google HQ, GrowthHackers, and the global SaaStalk tech conferences, and uses her experiences and knowledge of food, farming and health to speak at regenerative agriculture conferences, including sharing the stage with Joel Salatin at Polyface Farm.
Sophia is also a Weston A. Price chapter leader and the founder of the website Sprinkle With Soil and the Call to Farms podcast. With her husband, Tim, she raises grass-fed dairy cows and beef cattle, laying hens, broilers, ducks, sheep, goats, turkeys, and grows a variety of produce for her multigenerational family and local community.

"We spent a relaxed few days cooking and eating, doing some Bible study and having very engaged discussions. When Maureen or Sophie were demonstrating some of their cooking, we all watched and asked questions. We learned lots about nutritional value of the foods and the sourcing of the beautiful fresh foods. Maureen and Sophie would give us little jobs of chopping or combining foods, etc. We had lots of laughs, lots of fun. "

Being a busy homesteader, mother, and grandmother of many, I seldom take a good chunk of time away. I knew I was overdue, and the retreat was very timely. The whole event from beginning to end was nurturing, nourishing, inspiring, uplifting, encouraging, and refreshing. I treasure the memories of the fun, laughter, talks, hugs and tears we all shared. It was just a few days, but with an enduring legacy of friendships that make me smile ,and continue to bless me immeasurably.
