Kristen’s background is in culinary arts, ceramics, and creative writing. Her delight in food, particularly good ingredients, and the desire for a more just food system lured her into farming. Here she fell in love with herbs, beneficial bacteria, fungi, and the breathtaking complexity of the natural world. She lives with her husband, Beau, and their family on Laird Woodland Farm, a small herb farm in south-central Kansas. For more about herbs, mushrooms, and foraging fun, visit @lairdwoodlandfarm.
