She left her city life behind to start fresh among the lavender fields of Capay Valley… but farming rarely goes the way you expect. What began as a beautiful plan quickly took a turn, forcing Sherri to rethink everything she thought this farm would be.

In this episode of Field Trips, we explore the hard lessons hidden behind the pretty purple rows—why her original idea didn’t work, what she learned along the way, and how one major pivot transformed the future of this farm. 💜
