In 2009, she started her own farm business, Radix Farm, in Upper Marlboro MD. At Radix, she converted three acres of conventionally farmed land into a thriving and bountiful market farm, selling to CSA customers, restaurants, and farmers markets in the DC area. In 2010 she participated in Future Harvest’s Beginning Farmer Training Program and went on to become a trainer for the program.After growing her first human baby, Kristin moved to Baltimore and leaned into carpentry, spending a decade renovating and repairing homes. Kristin’s passion for growing healthy food remained strong, as she continued to grow vegetables at her home garden, occasionally worked for farmer friends like Two Boots Farm and Moon Valley Farm, and now stewards land at a collectively owned land project in PA.Additional InformationThis workshop will be held indoors.
