For the FarmHer Thanksgiving Special, we’re featuring award-winning cook, farm mom, and blogger, Cristen Clark, of Runnels, Iowa who has perfected the art of baking. Cristen is a recipe expert who has won cooking contests around the country and even has her own cookbook! Her love of baking is an activity that she finds soothing, but has also been handed down through her family. The brains behind the popular blog foodandswine.com, Cristen and her family also run their Iowa based farm where they raise a variety of pigs for both commercial consumption and hobby show pigs. As a sixth generation farmer, Cristen and her sister Tanna, work with their father throughout harvest each year, running the tractors and grain cart. While harvest is a busy time with a lot of moving parts and pieces, it’s easy to see that these three love working together as a family.
“I farm with my sister, I farm with my dad, I farm with my mom. It doesn’t get any better than that. I just want to be around and do this stuff with my family. To prove and show my kids that working hard is always worthwhile.” - Cristen Clark
