Today I'm going to be talking to another small scale farming
making a go of it as we go to Sebastopol, CA to talk to Caiti
Hachmyer of Red H Farm.
Caiti's a farmer who started out her farming career on the advocacy
side of things. She was living the Bay Area advocating for
farmers and looking to play her part in changing hte food
system. But after a while she felt something was
missing. And she felt like she needed to get on the ground
and see what life was really like for some of the farmers that she
was advocating for. So she picked up her California roots and
moved to Minnesota to spend some time working on a production farm.
It was step that would change her life forever. Giving her
perspective of the on the ground side of things which helped her on
the policy side, and one that would give her a nice experience ot
have in her back pocket.
One that she would need to draw on when she moved back to
California and needed work.
Caiti's gone on to continue her work on the ground and policy side
of things.
It's the dual nature of her work that we focus on today.
