In this week's North American Ag Spotlight Chrissy Wozniak listens to @the Shepherdess tell her story of leaving the urban lifestyle and starting a farm from scratch. Many think it can't be done, but Grace Leake has proved otherwise. In this interview she discusses how and why she made this decision, the current state of the industry, and how her faith led her to this place. She also discusses how the farmer-consumer relationship is the key to fixing food insecurity.

Grace is an entrepreneur, Shepherdess, and rotational grazing enthusiast. This eclectic mix converges on her Shepherdess Podcast where she talks about regenerative farming for profit, raising Dorper sheep, and daily life as a small-scale, regenerative farmer!
