Suzanna Crampton grew up in the USA but spent her summers at her grandparents' small farm in Co. Kilkenny, Ireland. She studied agricultural and environmental sciences at Sterling Institute in Vermont and then pursued a variety of careers in a broad range of locations, including breaking and training Morgan Horses in upstate New York and working for a wildlife charity in South East Asia. She returned to Kilkenny in 1997 where she taught photography and now farms, blogs and tweets about her sustainable farming. Suzanna lives on her family farm in Kilkenny with her flock of Zwartbles sheep, alpacas, horses, chickens, dogs, cats and Bodacious, who strolled into her life 11 years ago.
