Shalini Karra- A Journey from NAP Apprentice to Holistic Livestock Manager at Apricot Lane Farms – and Everything in Between.
In this episode we speak with Shalini Karra. She’s the Holistic Livestock Manager at Apricot Lane Farms in Moorpark, California. Shalini didn’t come from an agricultural background, but took several important opportunities – including a New Agrarian Program apprenticeship and working with Gabe Brown – that allowed her to develop a career in regenerative agriculture. She talks about the bumps in the road, but also some things that never lose their magic, including a healthy baby lamb.
