This is the latest project by volunteers at CHD Middle TN to surround new and future moms with a modern-day village of love, support and wisdom.

Our speakers will be Kevin and Mikki Krause of Liberty Trace Farm in Hampshire, TN. Attendees will be learning about soil’s connection to health and even starting a small garden to take home and grow more food this spring.

Our goal is to connect young families with peers and a mentor(s) to share learnings of raising children, to guide them through known and lesser-known risks of raising healthy families in today’s world and to prevent isolation and help their families thrive with vital knowledge, resources and to fill the souls of these new moms with a place to rest, build community and nourishing food.

We can’t wait to support Moms and their babies. We want every Mom informed about big issues of today, like their parental rights, medical decisions and healthy food. We want to equip each mom to talk to their family and doctors about their desired health and lifestyle plans, and how to forge a path to stand boldly as they steward their family. On the off-months, we encourage groups to form to meet and discuss topics that we can help address at our future gatherings.

Speaker Bio

Kevin and his wife, Mikki, have been regeneratively farming in Hampshire, TN since 2015.  They raise cattle, hogs, chickens (meat & eggs), turkeys, ducks, honey bees and grow a small orchard and garden.  They began their journey by selling at farmer’s markets, but currently sell directly to customers, and through retail stores. Their quest for better grazing pasture and “nutrient dense” foods for themselves led Kevin to become one of Dr. Elaine Ingham’s Soilfoodweb Consultants and Certified Lab Techs.  Kevin is also trained in Korean Natural Farming and Permaculture Design.  He’s now working to help others leverage biology over chemistry to enhance their soils, their crops and livestock, and ultimately their portion of the planet.

Cost

$5 cash registration fee per person will be collected at the event.

“To be able to share the information I wish I had when I was a brand new mom so that you can avoid the mistakes that I made, to have community of wise mentors to nurture those raising the next generation … that is what Mentor Moms is all about.”
