Episode Description:

In this episode of the Farm Walks Podcast, we have the pleasure of talking with Rachael Taylor-Tuller of Lost Peacock Creamery in Olympia, WA. Rachael shares her inspiring story of transition and transformation from an Air Force service member to being a full time farmer and how working with animals was her key to mental health and wellness. Later in the episode, we connect with Grant Weber of Vets on the Farm - a Veteran focused farm created by the Spokane Conservation District, aiming to support a new mission and a way for veterans to transition back into civilian life through careers in agriculture and farming.
