Katrina is a 3rd generation female farmer, fermenter, and nurse practitioner. Weaving these practices together fills Katrina’s life with joy and meaning. As a business entrepreneur she diversified the family farm opening up a wedding venue, brewery, cidery, tasting room (with the most epic pizza) and planted a vineyard. Katrina’s great-great grandparents founded a vineyard in Switzerland and later immigrated to Helvetia, Oregon (1905) where they planted Yungen Vineyards. Continuing the tradition, Katrina’s uncle and aunt pioneered Elk Cove Vineyard in 1974 in the Willamette Valley. So, planting a vineyard on the farm was simply part of her farming heritage!Katrina’s faith and values of generosity and hospitality tell such an inspiring story of the way work can be a place of gratitude and hope. Katrina has always been a refreshing, generous presence in my life and she joined me on this week's podcast to talk about the practices and habits of work & generosity. If you want to read Trina’s farm blog: gratefulfarmer.com (she shares lots of amazing photos and recipes and stories and it's well worth a look).If you want to learn more about her family farm you can visit Mt View OrchardsIf you want to watch the episode of Bravo’s top chef that was filmed on the family farm you can do so here
