Stacey Pierce is a name you’ll find when you look up “renaissance woman” in the dictionary. She’s had a catering business, was an Occupational Therapist, owned a restaurant, managed a band, became an expert in “aging in place” technology where she’s travelled the world speaking on the subject, started several businesses within a CCRC (a full service senior living retirement community), and is currently co-founder of a coaching/consulting business called A Salty Rim, and is helping take a medication dispenser to market with Pharmright. I know I may be a little biased, but this woman is one in a million. Listening to this episode and getting to know the one and only “Statoya Marschelle Jackson” is 45 minutes well spent.

We’re on location at Fresh Future Farm with Germaine Jenkins, founder and Master Gardener, and Karen Latsbaugh, founder of Cities & Shovels and right hand person at the farm. Many people dream big, but these ladies are actually pursuing those dreams and making them happen. Inspired by the need to provide healthy food for her family as a single mom, Germaine turned her backyard into a garden. Years later, that vision has now grown into a multi-faceted 1 acre farm with fruits, vegetables, chickens, bees, a grocery store, and so much more. Listen in as they talk about the joys and challenges of developing an oasis of fresh, healthy food right in the middle of a food desert in North Charleston, and see how you might be a part of helping this amazing vision continue to unfold into a garden of goodness.
