Arden Moore (Real Food for Dogs) is one of the nation’s foremost experts on pet care. When Barbara Kingsolver wanted to make her own cheese, she turned to Ricki Carroll (Home Cheese Making), celebrated cheesemaker and founder of the New England Cheesemaking Supply Company. AHS Award Winner Paul Tukey (The Organic Lawn Care Manual) is cohost of HGTV’s People, Places, and Plants.
As a result, Storey’s readers get more than just encouragement and fresh ideas.

Storey authors anticipate questions, break skills down into simple steps, and help readers solve complex challenges. Armed with Storey books, readers can be sure that they’ll succeed, whatever the task...
It’s not just the authors who have passion for their subjects: independent living is a way of life for Storey’s editors and staff. Storey’s president knits and keeps her own chickens. The crafts editor spins yarn with fleece from her own flock of Romney sheep, the horse editor is a committed equestrian. Walk through the offices and you won’t just find publishing professionals; you’ll also find experts who can help you make an ecofriendly floor cleaner, create your own organic facial cream, move a pig, or whip up an organic, garden-fresh
meal.
