Sarah Barney is a researcher turned homesteading farmer applying her knowledge to raise medicinal herbs, ducks, and chickens. Inspired by the farms they visited while traveling and doing research in Latin America, Indonesia, and beyond, Sarah and her partner Chris started Among the Oaks Herb Farm in Beatyville, KY, about an hour outside of Lexington where they grew up. Sarah’s work is deeply rooted in healing. This extends from herself to her community and the land she’s on, cultivating plants that she may not live to reap the rewards of. Skip ahead to around the 20 minute mark to hear the case for ducks being the best bird for small farms.
