Show Summary

In this episode, Jessi talks with Kristin Smith, owner and executive chef of the Wrigley Taproom in Corbin, Kentucky. She shares her experience as both a sixth generation farmer and business owner. Her restaurant, now a staple within her community, gave her the opportunity to dream big but stay rooted.

Topics

  • As a sixth generation farmer, Kristin and her family have always centered their lives around food. 
  • Returning home due to her grandfather’s illness and feeling haunted by the possible decision of selling the farm because she did not want it to end with her generation.  
  • Learning from her grandfather, grandmother and mother, then teaching herself the rest–all while holding on to the mission of farm to table dining and keeping dollars in the local economy. 
  • Seeing a surprise in change of tolerance in Eastern Kentucky regarding equality and opening up the table to a lot of different people. 
  • Setting up a healthy work environment and taking care of your team. 
  • Business lessons learned – you don’t always need business partners.
