Lisa graduated from Bryant University with a bachelors degree in Accounting and went to work on Wall Street for several years. She started raising chickens in 2009 and shortly after started blogging about it.
More than 800+ blog posts on her original site Fresh Eggs Daily, 6 books on raising chickens, and a social media platform with nearly 1 million followers later, she decided to pivot and focus on the culinary side of eggs as well.
Fully embracing the career change, Lisa received a certificate in Recipe Development from Le Cordon Bleu Culinary School, started her recipe site Coop to Kitchen which currently boasts more than 200 recipes, and is currently working on her second cookbook which is due out in 2026.
Lisa currently lives on a small farm in Maine with her husband, their corgi, and flock of chickens, ducks and geese, where she enjoys creating recipes using eggs fresh from the chicken coop and seasonal produce from the garden.
