Ep. 21: How a Peanut Farmer Became an Advocate for Food Allergies


Listen Later

In this episode, we meet a sixth generation peanut farmer, Casey Cox, who returned home from college to help run the family farm. Not only is Casey a proud farmer, but she is proud of the peanut farmers' role in tackling the issue of peanut and food allergies with the National Peanut Board. Casey shares her personal story and the global support accomplished by her fellow farmers for the food allergy community.
