Suzanne Karreman

Prior to farming, Suzanne was an investigative reporter on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. She covered money in politics and the “inside baseball” of the U.S. Congress for Roll Call Newspaper, then a subsidiary of The Economist. A couple of life-shattering encounters with the conventional medical system caused her to rethink the foundational role food plays in health, and she began a radical journey to grow food that at first led her to a year in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina in 2006 and the following year moved to North Carolina. Never did she imagine her quest to eat eggs from chickens that ate organic feed on rotated pastures — and raw milk from a cow that ate only forage — would lead her down this circuitous path.
