This episode of Women in Food is a little bit different as I turn the tables, I mean microphone, and sit down to become the guest. I’ve brought in Social Entrepreneurship Coach and Host of the Awarepreneurs podcast, Paul Zelizer to interview ME about food, business and my personal story.
I have to say, as I listen to this conversation, it feels raw and vulnerable to share this behind-the-podcast look at my journey from my childhood growing up in a family business through multiple career chapters to creating what Crown Hill Farm is becoming. During this conversation I share some of my perspectives on intuitive business growth—like the patient tending of a garden—and delve into my strongly held belief in the power of nurturing relationships as the bedrock of success for any business or venture.
Along the way, our conversation organically unfolds between the art of raising chickens, ducks, and geese, the nutritional value of pasture-raised eggs, and my passion for farm-to-table sustainability. Through some of my stories you’ll hear about the resilience I’ve tapped into through life's wild weather, and hear bits of what inspires me to host Women in Food, grow a food-based farm business and of course follow my passion for cooking and food!
I share a recipe for my favorite way to cook eggs — Eggs en Cocotte— as we chat about stewarding the land with grace and my intuitive approach to business coaching. It’s all a part of what weaves through my daily life on the farm. So, join us as we dance within the worlds of business acumen, farming culture, and the reverence for the humble egg in a discussion overflowing with gratitude, interconnectedness, and the celebration of women's influence in the food industry.

This episode of Women in Food is unique as one of the rare times I interview a “man in food” — food writer and journalist, Andrew Galarneau. During this conversation we dance between topics like an innovative take on cooking eggs to the complexity of gender inequality in the culinary industry. Andrew lays bare what he sees is the sobering truth of women's underrepresentation in professional kitchens and the obstacles they face, from systemic discrimination to the difficulties in establishing their own ventures.
Along the way, we take a short culinary tour through Buffalo's diverse food scene, as Andrew shines a light on the importance of supporting immigrant-owned eateries. He also shares some super practical advice for those in the food business on making their mark with media professionals and the importance of clear communication with strong business acumen. Andrew tops it off with his story and accompanying recipe for Yiayia’s Tzatziki Sauce.
This was a serious yet enlightening dialogue, providing insight into both the joy of gastronomy and the critical issues that shape the industry. Tune in for this rich blend of flavorful stories and essential conversations on the path forward for women in food

Connor shares a bit about her childhood growing up eating close to the land right at a time when convenience foods were also making their appearance as well as her travels around the world and life in the wilderness. Our conversation weaves its way through topics including the natural state of abundance, tending fire and hearth, the nature of the feminine, gardening by the moon cycles, and eating seasonally. Connor takes us on a journey with her stories of learning the Contract with Corn from the Hopi Grandmother, living in a tipi in Colorado, and understanding the power of the moon’s pull in the Mayan jungles.

In this week’s episode, I talk to regenerative farmer, wife, foodie and mom to five kids, Paige Jackson, who I first ‘met’ online when she posted about her Romertopf clay baker (you can hear the whole story in the interview!). We talk about how her quest to have more transparency in food after experiencing some health complications led her and her husband on the path to starting their own farm and eventually raising their kids participating in farm life.

Paige teaches us about regenerative pasture-raised livestock and why that choice allows their farm business to uphold their values. Along the way, we touch on so many topics including growing up as one of 14 siblings, her mom’s big dinner table, different kinds of milks and digestibility, capitalism and food and how their business Grass Grazed started with a few chickens in their yard to become the thriving enterprise it is today. My favorite quote is: “Farmers are Foodies, too” which sums up Paige’s passion for food — raising it, cooking it and sharing with community all of which is expressed in her Roasted Chicken Recipe.

In this week’s episode, we are talking to writer, author, editor, food expert and Cheese Maven, Hannah Howard who recently published her second book, “Plenty: A Memoir of Food and Family” celebrating the many, often unseen, pockets of women in the food world. We talk about her journey into food, starting with her mother (who is one of the women featured in her book) all the way through her years in New York eating, drinking, serving, bartending, cooking on hot lines, and flipping giant wheels of cheese in Manhattan institutions such as Picholine and Fairway Market to her current work elevating women’s voices in food through her writing.
Along the way, she vulnerably shares about her journey through the “dark side of having a food passion” — her experience with eating disorders and how she turned her deepest shadow into an enlightened gift while dancing the fine line between passion and obsession. This is the topic of her first book, “Feast”. We learn how she went from fine french dining, to corporate food, and eventually to becoming a food writer, all while following a growing love for cheese.
Hannah tells us how she was blessed with great mentorship in many different moments, but was always seeking the women mentors in the industry. This desire led her on a quest to find where these women are are in the food world and a journey through the lives of many incredible women in food (and cheese!). Women + Food is a simple equation that can result in an enormous diversity of careers — each woman finding her own path to success reflective of her unique self. Similarly, cheese is the combination of simple ingredients that can result in an enormous diversity of flavors — each one reflecting its own source and environment.

Hey there, it’s been quite a while since there’s been a new episode. As a farmer, I’ve been busy the past few months! This week, I’m back at it talking to Artist, Curator and Animator, Sarah Klein. Now you may be wondering why I’m talking to an Artist on a podcast about food, well, I’ll tell you! As a co-creator of the Local Foods Wheel (a wonderful tool to determine what is in season where you live), Sarah regularly contributes her creativity to projects about local and seasonal foods, from animated music videos to bread baking performance art and of course, the foods wheel. If you look at her art, you’ll just sense the influence of seasons, cycles, and gardens throughout.
Through Sarah’s stories, we learn how easily intertwined the philosophies of food and art can be in how both explore the realms of permanence and impermanence of creating. Discover how she blurrs the line between the food and art by bringing food into a public art forum and her unique art to various food education projects. You can almost smell the fresh bread in the oven as she talks about the Bread Project and her first exposure to bread baking during her stay at an arts center. It seems that food and art have always walked hand in hand in Sarah’s life.
Sarah tells us about how her parents fostered an early love of exploring food and the power of three women collaborating in business in what she sees as a feminine way. She brings us a recipe for a refreshing, light Olive Oil Cake with Rosewater and Lemon that can be adapted to whatever fruit is in season at the time. Along the way, we chat about how to make lemon powder, our favorite sushi memories and more.

In this week's episode, I talk to Chef Kimberly Brock Brown who recently was elected as the President of the American Culinary Federation (ACF). We talk about her journey into food and eventually to this role as the first woman, first person of color AND first Pastry Chef to be president in the ACF’s 92-year history.
Along the way, Chef Kimberly shares her stories of strong women role models in her life who taught her the importance of taking action to effect change. We cover all kinds of topics like how she turns to her inner guidance for support, and how a feminine approach to leadership in the kitchen supports mentorship and growth of the younger generations while also honoring traditions. She shares her perspectives on the role of a Chef and her vision for the future of ACF and how she’d like to lead the organization.
Chef Kimberly tells us about her love of cooking with fruits and all the ways to use fruit in both sweet and savory dishes including grilling peaches, and using berries with meats. We tap into the ubiquitous summer fruit — the watermelon — and its interesting role in racism in America. She then gives us a refreshing recipe for Watermelon Pico de Gallo!

On this episode, we talk to Jill Gould of the Butter Meat Co. about being in relationship to our food. Relationship to our food is not just about knowing where it came from, but also the relationships we build around food, how food is intertwined in our relationships (like family recipes), and how it is connected to our relationship with the earth & world around us. As the owner of Butter Meat Co., a business selling dual-purpose beef, Jill is an expert on the cattle industry and takes us through the winding road of the cattle industry. Along the way, we hear her story of growing up in a farming community, her early exposure to cultural food perspectives leading to her first discovery of using a dairy cow for meat which led to her successful business today. We dive deep under the soil to talk about the environmental impacts of the meat/dairy industry (both good and harmful) in terms of soil health, carbon sequestering and climate change.
Jill gives us a sweet glimpse of her relationship with her Grammie and the powerful mentorship of this matrilineal elder in her family. She tells a sweet story about Grammie along with Grammie’s sweet rolls and we learn how this woman’s influence gives Jill the strength to be a woman with a powerful voice in the usually male-dominated meat business.

This week, I heard the very sad news of the passing of Carla Bartolucci. I’ve not met her, but her work has influenced my relationship with food in ways that ripple out to most people I connect with over food. Carla was the CEO and Founder of Jovial Foods (along with her husband) and responsible for bringing awareness of Einkorn wheat closer to the mainstream. Her journey with this original, non-hybridized wheat started with her daughter’s intense gluten sensitivities combined with her passion for quality food straight from the source. I’ve invited my dear friend, Sage Lee, to join me in reminiscing about the impact Carla & Einkorn have had on us and to share a bit more about this delicious, unique wheat. Our love and prayers go out to Carla’s family and the entire Jovial community. What is remembered, lives.
