Episode seven features beginning farmer Amber Toombs of Rustic Roots Heritage Homestead as we discuss: The joys and triumphs of farm cats The “farming gene” Creating hands-on agricultural education Livestock as soil amendments Much, much more! You will love this energetic and collaborative farmer! #IYWF2026 About Amber: Amber was born and raised in the city. Her grandmother, a resilient woman who grew up during the Depression era, experienced the harsh realities of self-sufficiency firsthand. Determined to provide a different life for her family, Amber's grandmother moved to the city, distancing herself from the lifestyle she once knew. This city upbringing shaped Amber's early years, but the stories and skills passed down from her grandmother ignited a spark within her—a desire to rediscover and embrace a life more connected to nature and tradition.
