This week on Greenhorn Radio Sev spoke with Sarah Petranek, former radiologic technologist and current blueberry farm proprietor. Sarah conveys the story of her drastic decision to put her and her husband’s love of hard work and the outdoors to use by moving their family 400 miles away to rural Kentucky. There she eventually fulfilled her dream of living off the land, leaving behind the material world, and having time to spend time with her family. Now she is a successful blueberry farmer looking to expand to strawberries, and despite some lingering monetary issues, as happy as she’s ever been.
