About this episode
Kathy Barker isn’t just the founder of Barker Farm – she’s a mother, an advocate for mental health awareness and breaking the stigma of food insecurity, and a self-proclaimed “worker bee.” She’s committed to helping others, not just because it’s the right thing to do, but also because she once needed that help. Today, she shares with Nora the story of surviving domestic violence, financial instability, and the building of Barker Farm.
