Katey Evans didn’t grow up on a farm, but she found her calling when she married into a third-generation Delaware farm. What started as a challenge to reduce food waste evolved into The Frozen Farmer, a nationally distributed brand transforming imperfect produce into low-calorie sorbets and creamy treats. After studying ice cream science and launching a creamery on their farm, Katey pitched on Shark Tank and landed a deal that propelled her product into stores across the country. Alongside her husband, daughters, and a crew of women, Katey is redefining what it means to be a modern FarmHer.
