It took exactly two days and two nights at the Living Kitchen to hook Linda on farming.  She and some friends were farm sitting to allow Lisa a much needed break, and while they didn’t do nearly all the work the farm entails, the daily routine of milking, feeding, and harvesting provided a rhythm for her life that made her soul sing.  After that weekend, she helped at the farm whenever she could, planting potatoes, shoveling out barns, milking goats, raising a yurt, really anything she could just to be outside and more connected to the source of her food.  In 2009 she moved out here to live and work whenever she’s not at her full-time job in Tulsa. Her primary areas of responsibility at the farm are marketing and communications, though her day is never complete without time spent with the goats.

Linda’s life’s work has centered on spirituality.  She has worked as a counselor and chaplain and in graduate education for ministers.  At the heart of her spiritual interests is a deep love for the natural world.  Farming for her is an expression of her spiritual life.  As her role at the Living Kitchen evolves, she hopes to offer opportunities to assist others in exploring their spirituality using the amazing resources the land and its fruits provide.
