Picture of Sara Grivas

Sara Grivas

Sara is a newly retired empty nester with 3 children, 5 grandchildren and married 30 years to her best friend. A Detroit born Michigander, Sara has a true passion for this state and all its hidden treasures. Her historical line of farmers sparks her ongoing quest to establish a "back to Eden" lifestyle in her suburb. An old soul at heart with a wild-child spirit there is never a dull moment with her. If you don't find her in her garden, preserving her harvest, in her jacuzzi with a glass of wine, or spending time with those grandbabies, she will be dragging her husband along on some spontaneous adventure.
