OFI 1448: Teaching Self-Sufficiency In Alaska | Jennifer Sharrock | Seeds & Soil Farm | Re-Cap Episode

This great interview with Alaskan, Jennifer Sharrock, is the perfect tie in to tomorrow's Ag Business Interview. Jennifer is a teacher at heart and teaches people in Alaska how to grow their own food and increase their self-sufficiency. It is my pleasure to bring this interview back to you today. The original show notes are below. SHOW NOTES It is always exciting to interview a person who had a dream of working full-time, in agriculture, for themself who has made it come true. We get to do that today when Jennifer Sharrock joins us on the show. Jennifer has a very interesting story. She grew up in New Jersey, went into the insurance industry and lived all around the country through her career. One of these stops was Alaska. In Alaska, Jennifer found her people, met her husband and started her family. She also discovered a passion for permaculture, regenerative agriculture and growing her own food during their tiny growing season. Jennifer really dove into this, starting around 2015. Since that time things have snowballed with her teaching classes to other people about how to farm on a small scale, the way that she does. For the past 2+ years, Jennifer has been a full-time farmer and entrepreneur. She grew her farm business large enough to be able to quit her insurance job and be completely independent. This is a powerful thing, and in the interview with Jennifer you will hear how it has impacted her. It is really an amazing thing to watch or listen to when somebody like Jennifer is able to make this transition. You spend so much time dreaming about this lifestyle, never knowing how to make it happen. Then one day you have a break through and before you know it you are there. This is my story, and this is Jennifer's, and I am excited to profile it for you. More Places You Can Listen to Off-Farm Income And Matt Brechwald:
