Meet Stacy Lyn Harris, Harvest Right Guest Chef

Stacy Lyn Harris is an author, speaker, gardener, mother of seven, sustainability expert, and guest chef on broadcast and cable television. She's written two books, Stacy Lyn's Harvest Cookbook and Tracking the Outdoors In, both built around hearty, healthy, family-oriented meals made from local ingredients.

Harris created the cooking and gardening segments for RFDTV's Rural Heritage show, starting with the inaugural episode, "Blacksmith Basics," which aired June 13th. Across the series, she's demonstrated her sustainability methods and freeze-drying techniques for preserving what she grows and harvests.

One of her particular passions is freeze-drying game meats like venison, which she's found preserves nutritional value well. Her Venison, Sausage, and Lentil Soup is a good example of how she puts that into practice.
