Jessie Johnson

FOUNDER & CHIEF CONTENT CREATOR

Jessie founded Life As A Strawberry as a hobby food blog while working in the nonprofit sector between college and grad school (she did her Master’s at Cornell – read more about her work with food security research here!)

Jessie is still the voice of our brand, and today, Life As A Strawberry is a food media company with a full-time team of three (plus a handful of amazing contractors and consultants!) who are passionate about helping you get great food on your table while you make a positive impact on our planet.
