Kristen Muehlhauser and her husband Adam founded Raindance Organic Farm 5 years ago and has been committed to connecting people with agriculture ever since. Their operation has flowers, vegetables, herbs, and even workshops to share their love for agriculture. All of their produce is sold within a 10-mile radius of their farm, keeping their produce extremely local! 🪴 With the help of the CultivateGrowth Grant, Kristen was able to invest in herself as the operation advanced. She recently completed The Lily Workshop Course and ran her first pilot crop of lilies this past season! 🌻🤩 To learn more about Kristen and the Raindance Organic Farm read our blog post here! https://lnkd.in/g5hZhjYJ
