Tieghan Gerard

Tieghan Elizabeth Gerard was born on September 15, 1993. She spent her early life in Cleveland, Ohio, before her family relocated to Silverthorne, Colorado, during her teenage years. Gerard completed high school early and obtained an associate degree by taking additional college courses. After a brief period studying fashion in Los Angeles, she returned to Silverthorne.

In 2012, at the age of nineteen, Gerard established her food blog, Half Baked Harvest, on WordPress. The blog originated from her practice of cooking meals for her large family, which includes seven siblings. Since its inception, Gerard has consistently posted new recipes, often daily. This dedication led to significant growth for Half Baked Harvest, expanding beyond the blog into popular social media accounts and a daily newsletter with 700,000 subscribers.

Gerard has authored four cookbooks, all of which have achieved recognition, with three becoming New York Times Best Sellers. Her first cookbook, ‘Half Baked Harvest Cookbook,’ was released in September 2017 and was notably sold in Anthropologie stores, contributing to her increasing popularity. She has since published ‘Half Baked Harvest Super Simple’ (October 2019), ‘Half Baked Harvest Every Day’ (March 2022), and ‘Half Baked Harvest Quick & Cozy’ (November 2024). Her career also includes appearances on television programs such as “Good Morning America” and “Home & Family,” and she has engaged in various brand collaborations.
