Lisa Steele is an author, TV host of the program Welcome to my Farm, popular television and radio guest, and creator of the blog Fresh Eggs Daily, the premiere online resource for chicken-keeping advice. Lisa has amassed an audience of nearly one million from all over the globe, who look to her for tips on raising backyard poultry naturally, gardening tips, and her coop-to-kitchen recipes.
Dubbed "Queen of the Coop," she is a "chicken lifestyle" expert, a New Englander, born and bred, and a fifth-generation chicken keeper who grew up across the street from her grandparents' chicken farm. She spent her childhood raising chickens, rabbits, always an outdoor cat, and the occasional pet goat.
From her beautiful farm in Maine, Lisa has contributed her sage advice to the backyard chicken keeping community for more than a decade and has recently entered the culinary arena with the release of her debut cookbook, The Fresh Eggs Daily Cookbook (HarperCollins, 2022) which received a starred review from Publishers Weekly and was chosen as an Amazon editors pick for Best Cookbooks, Food & Wine.
