Kate has a deep relationship to agriculture and the Siskiyou County area, and in her own words feels, “It isn’t odd that I’ve found the perfect fit in small scale agriculture, growing food and saving seeds. It has been the culture of agriculture that has struck me deep. The relationship we have with what we eat, how we eat, who we share meals with and how those acts define our days and lives…An even more resonating chapter in my passion for food…is my recent move back to Siskiyou County and the honor of growing food and seeds for the community that raised me”.
