Dorothy Beasley (aka Grandma Beasley) is a proud baby-boomer from Alberta, who was raised on a cattle farm where she learned to drive tractors and work with machinery as a young girl. Riding horseback and rounding up cattle were also part of her daily routine. Ranch life was hard work, fun, and sometimes dangerous.

Cooking wasn't a skill she picked up until after getting married. As the years passed, raising her four children, and actively volunteering in the community, she discovered a love for baking and cooking nutritious meals for her family. Today, she values teaching young people essential life skills that will benefit them in the future. From cooking and money-saving techniques to public speaking and budgeting, she aims to pass on valuable knowledge to help others lead fulfilling lives. She also enjoys sharing tips on preserving and harvesting garden vegetables, as well as wild plants and berries, to make teas and lotions.

She loves connecting, communicating, and collaborating women, men, and children of all ages as well as Mother Nature. She enjoys meeting new people and forming friendships to learn from each other.
