Jackie Nix is the founder of Moo Maven and the independent author and illustrator of Modern Farms. Modern Farms is her first children’s book.
Jackie has been in love with farming for as long as she can remember. That farm in the background of that blurry picture is her neighbor’s dairy and hog farm where she spent most of her time as a child in rural eastern Ohio.
Jackie’s fascination with farming and livestock lead her to obtain a B.S. in Animal Science from Virginia Tech and a M.S. in Animal Science from Clemson. She has enjoyed a long and diverse career in agriculture both as an animal nutritionist for an international feed company and as a county Ag Extension Agent that has spanned nearly 25 years.
Not only is Jackie an Animal Scientist, but she is also a mother herself who absolutely understands the loving bond that forms when you spend time reading to a child. Jackie’s own son is now grown, but she fondly recalls the many hours spent reading to her son.
Now Jackie wants to share her love and fascination of all forms of agriculture as well as her artistic talents to educate and inspire children of all ages through the magic of storytelling. Her goal is to create agriculturally accurate books that children love and fellow ag professionals and farmers want to give to their friends and family.
Jackie currently lives in Alabama with her two rescue dogs, Rex and Ivy. In her free time she does photography and arts and crafts, DIY projects in her home and gardening.
