✨new episode!✨ In this episode of “Rural Unrecognized,” host Amanda chats with Kristin Graves, better known as the Garlic Goddess @fifthgengardens. Once a radiology technician, Kristin has traded in her hospital scrubs for coveralls, becoming a successful garlic farmer and author. Her new book, The Garlic Companion, is a must-have for garlic enthusiasts, packed with recipes, growing tips, and more, and is set to launch on September 17th! ⬅️⬅️⬅️
 
Kristin opens up about her journey from the fast-paced world of healthcare to finding peace and purpose on her family farm.

She shares how her work, including her garlic CSA, helps people connect with their food in a deeper way, fostering a greater appreciation for the journey from farm to table. Kristin believes in companionship over competition, seeing her role not just as a farmer, but as someone who helps others grow alongside her.
 
Kristin’s story is one of resilience, hope, and following your heart. This episode wraps up with a thoughtful discussion on rural life and the changing role of women in farming.
