Parenting and Food Allergies with Jessie Kileen

Episode #5 We are all affected by food allergies in one way or another.  Whether you are navigating this for your own child, or have friends or classmates that have allergy concerns its something that we encounter regularly.  On this episode of New Mexico Momcast, Jessie Kileen of Grassburger joins us.  She is passionate about food advocacy, allergies, and nutrition and this is such an informative chat. Jessie Kileen started Grassburger in Durango in 2014 with her partner and husband Ed.  They opened their first Albuquerque location in 2016 and the second ABQ location in 2019.  Prior to opening the restaurants, she did gallery, museum and advertising work, freelance photography, and raised three sons.  Her journey and interest in food integrity began with the birth of her oldest son. He was very ill and developed lifelong food allergies and auto-immune system issues. This changed how Jessie looked at food and farming, which then heavily influenced the mission of Grassburger.  LinksGrassburgerFarmer's FootprintGlyphosate GirlAx ThrowingOur Missing Hearts by Celeste NgConnect with ABQ Mom In PersonIt’s no secret that this motherhood journey is unique, and having people to turn to, talk to, and share experiences with can make all the difference in the world.
