The Early Years 

Lisa grew up across the street from her grandparents chicken farm in central Massachusetts, then graduated from Bryant University with a bachelors degree in Accounting and went to work on Wall Street for several years. After quitting the rat race and opening a bookstore on Long Island, she met her husband and after getting married,  they eventually moved to Virginia where he was stationed in the Navy.  

Lisa started raising chickens in 2009 and shortly after started blogging about it. More than 800+ blog posts on her original site Fresh Eggs Daily, 6 books on raising chickens, and a social media platform with nearly 1 million followers later, she decided to pivot and focus on the culinary side of eggs as well. 

Embracing her Inner Foodie

Fully embracing the career change, Lisa received a certificate in Recipe Development from Le Cordon Bleu Culinary School, started her food site which currently boasts more than 200 recipes and tips for cooking eggs, and came out with her debut cookbook The Fresh Eggs Daily Cookbook in 2022. She just finished working on her second cookbook, In Season, which is due out in May 2026.

Lisa currently lives on a small farm in Maine with her husband, their corgi, and flock of chickens, ducks and geese, where she enjoys creating recipes using eggs fresh from the chicken coop and local, seasonal produce from the garden.
