Troy Griepentrog, Senior Associate Editor

Troy Griepentrog (590)

Troy is the do-it-yourself guy and resident poultry expert. If you hear the buzz of power tools or the peep of baby chicks around the office, you’ll find him right there to investigate — unless he’s responsible for the noise in the first place.

Before coming to Mother Earth News, Troy published Poultry Enthusiast magazine (unfortunately, that project hatched about the time of the bird flu scare) and has dabbled in all kinds of home projects, such as making furniture, building a deck and pergola, and creating various poultry coops and pens.

Troy’s also interested in green and natural building methods, sustainable ag and gardening. Each project he tries is a bit of an experiment, and he’s happy to share what he learns with our readers.
