Maureen Diaz, wife and mother to a large family, spent years homesteading and raising most of her family’s food while studying and practicing regenerative farming practices, nutrition and non-toxic healing modalities. In 2001 this led her to the work of the late Dr. Weston A. Price and the foundation bearing his name.

Since that time she has continued to learn and share with others what she has found to be true and effective. To that end, for many years she has worked with and for the Weston A. Price Foundation.

In 2021 Maureen co-founded God’s Good Table alongside her eldest daughter, Erin. Her goal as always remains this: to help others in the recovery and building of their health and that of their families, while educating others in simple, regenerative practices for small-scale growing of foods, the preservation and preparation of these foods, and using food as medicine. 

A Virginia mountaintop is now home to the Diaz family, where together they enjoy gardening, hiking, kayaking, and welcoming people from near and far to their table.

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.
