003 | Embracing the Softer Side of Farming with Kristin Graves

The Trailblazher Podcast

Today we're talking with Kristin Graves of 5th Gen Gardens. This is a follow-up to an article she wrote in our Fall 2023 Issue 12 of Trailblazer Magazine. Her article is called Embracing the Softer Side of Farming. So after a decade of working in healthcare, Kristin has found her way back to her roots and is now moving into her Seventh season with Fifth Gen Gardens.

Not only does she have a three-acre market garden, but she is also learning the family business of grain farming and grows close to 75, 000 bulbs of hardneck garlic. Kristin enjoys creating unique garlic products using her very own homegrown garlic bulbs and incorporates many farm forage wild ingredients.

Her heart is happiest while in the field, and she is deeply committed to cultivating connections through the food she grows. Enjoy!
