Wendy Jackson

Wendy Jackson grew up in rural Minnesota on a “Little House on the Prairie” style Homestead. She opened 3 restaurants from scratch, and completed studies in plant-based nutrition. She created a 10-week nutritional lifestyle course, which assisted people in recovering from cancer, MS, and diabetes. She purchased the business, Perfect Pickler, and began a lifetime study of gut health and fermentation. Then ThriveForGood invited Wendy to Kenya, Africa, to teach Fermentation at their organic gardening center. This continued until Wendy was hired as Content Creator to work with a team to create an online course for the extreme poor all across the globe. This curriculum included organic gardening, nutrition education, herbal medicine, leadership skills, and income generation. Currently, 10,000+ people in developing countries are taking that course.

Today, Wendy, and her husband Dave, are establishing a similar training center in Liberia, Africa. Their goal is to equip all people with skills for self and community sustainability by teaching locally, online, and abroad. She also does public speaking events generating partners to join in the effort to equip all people for sustainability; especially the extreme poor.

Wendy has a love for all traditional skills, and a passion to teach all people a simple, self/community sufficient lifestyle.
