AboutPerky Dove Coffee

Meet Linda Taylor: A Health Enthusiast, Coffee Connoisseur, and Green Thumb Extraordinaire 🌿☕

Hi there,

I'm Linda Taylor, and I'm thrilled to share a glimpse of my world with you. As a married mother of 6, grandmother of 19, and proud great-grandmother of 1, family is at the heart of everything I do.

My passion for health and wellness runs deep, and you'll often find me exploring the latest trends in fitness, nutrition, and holistic living. But there's one thing that truly fuels my soul: coffee and tea. As the owner and proprietor of Perky Dove Coffee, I've made it my mission to curate a delightful selection of brews that cater to every palate and preference.

Beyond my love for all things caffeinated, I'm also a devoted gardener with a green thumb that seems to work magic. My home is a lush oasis filled with an array of plants, each lovingly nurtured and cared for. Whether it's tending to my vegetable patch or cultivating a vibrant indoor jungle, there's something truly special about watching life bloom and thrive under my care.

Through my blog, I aim to share my passion for health, wellness, and the simple joys of life. Join me as I explore the wonders of nature, sip on a comforting cuppa, and embark on a journey towards holistic well-being.

Here's to embracing life's little pleasures and nurturing our bodies, minds, and spirits along the way.

Warmest regards,
Linda Taylor
Owner & Proprietor, Perky Dove Coffee
