About

ho-headshotI am the publicist for the Weston A. Price Foundation, a leading nutrition education non-profit which promotes sustainable agriculture and traditional foods.  Other clients include All Health Public Relations and BALANCE USA, a German program to cure diabetes through lifestyle changes. I helped to launch the first American trial of BALANCE which was completed in Fall of 2009 in Reston, VA.

My interest in health and nutrition is very personal. My husband and I lost 50 lbs between us and have kept it off for 5 years. Change is possible!

Hartke is Online! welcomes guest bloggers who have an interest in our mission of promoting WAPF dietary guidelines, small traditional farms, and safe raw milk. Please send pitch emails with your subject you would like to write about.  Here is my contact info. I am currently keen on finding a fitness and nutrition writer, someone that knows the body building or athletic world and the importance of nutrition to that arena. I would like to have many voices on this blog, other than my own.  Just call me the Arianna Huffington of the local foods movement (although I am not nearly so political)!

In order to make Hartke is Online! a safe place for civil discourse, we will absolutely not tolerate any personal attacks against our bloggers or other commenters.  Be forewarned any hostile comments will be deleted. This is a place to discuss the issues, even disagree with someone’s position, but zero tolerance will be allowed for mean, rude behavior.  Let’s all learn and explore things together, without acrimony.  Thanks.

Please visit my husband’s website, NationalRealty.biz. We sponsor numerous farm buyers club “drops” in our office parking lot, part of our overall commitment to the growth of our local food system. We are in the real estate business, and would love to work with you and your friends and family for any of your real estate needs. We even have Realtors who will help you buy a Virginia farm!  Celebrities Sissy Spacek, Dave Matthews and Robert Duval own farms here, and so should you!

I also am the marketing director for Awesome Beach and Mountain Vacations, our family business with our brother and sister-in-law.  For help in planning your next family vacation, visit our awesome beach vacations site or our awesome mountain vacations website! Mention you are a blog reader for special discounts and incentives!
