Dirt Diaries is where the women of agriculture pull back the curtain and get real. From fields and feedlots to boardrooms and beyond, this podcast features unfiltered conversations with the women shaping agriculture in every corner—the FarmHERs, RanchHERs, GardenHERs, EntrepreneHERs, LeadHERs, EducatHERs, and everyone in between.
This week’s episode of Dirt Diaries features FarmHER Kait Thornton, aka @AppleGirlKait, a multi-generational orchardist who shares her love for growing apples, pears, and her wealth through social media and hits the streets at events like CMA Fest in Nashville.
Kait joined us on Thursday on the Market Day Report to talk about the episode + more!
