In this episode of Rural Unrecognized, we are joined by Andrea Kristin, an artist, author, and city mouse turned farm girl, as she shares the inspiring story behind @greyarrowfarm!

Andrea takes us through her journey of starting a community-supported agriculture (CSA) program with her husband, Dennis, and how their farm has grown into a thriving operation that brings fresh, organic produce to local families.

Andrea explains the unique benefits of CSA, from promoting healthier eating with fresh-picked vegetables to fostering community resilience and supporting the local economy. She dives into the challenges and rewards of running a farm, from the initial planning stages to the excitement of harvest time. Andrea also touches on the financial aspects of running a CSA, reducing food waste, and the importance of connecting customers with their food.

As a published author, Andrea talks about her new book Fresh Grown: The Essential Guide to Use, Store, and Make the Most of Your Vegetables, which was inspired by the questions she frequently receives from customers. The book aims to provide practical tips and knowledge for home cooks, helping them fully appreciate and utilize their fresh produce.
Andrea also shares personal insights into her family’s transition to farm life, the importance of teaching her children the values of hard work and resilience, and how she and Dennis balance running a business with nurturing their family relationships.

Tune in to hear more about Andrea’s journey, the values behind Grey Arrow Farm, and how you can be part of the local food movement!
