🎙️From Lab Coat to Cheesecloth: Dr. Kandice Marchant's Delicious Second Act


Hello Reader,

Today’s episode features Dr. Kandice Marchant—a former physician who traded her lab coat for a cheese cave.

She shares how a love for European cheeses and a background in science led her to launch her own artisan cheese business (without owning any goats or cows!).

Whether you're a cheesemaker, homesteader, or just love a good story, this episode will inspire you.

We hope you listen in!

Happy goatherding,

Deborah
and the Thrifty Homesteader Team
