This isn’t your average farmer’s market vendor. She’s a mom, a wife, and a Kentucky rancher who’s built an entire life—and business—around healing, hope, and homemade bread. In this episode, she sits down with host Holly Haralson to share the long road to D2 Meats, the infertility battle that changed her perspective, and how she turned her lowest valley into a mountaintop moment.

You’ll hear:

• The truth about living with MTHFR—and how it reshaped her health and mindset
• How infertility led Danielle to pursue a completely new way of eating, living, and raising her kids
• Why she believes the local food movement and regenerative ag are more than trends
• The real story behind D2 Meats’ success—and why it took leaning into personal values, not just profit margins

Whether you’re deep in a health journey, navigating parenthood, or trying to build a business that actually aligns with your life, this episode will leave you seen, inspired, and maybe craving some freshly milled bread.
