Kaitie leads Savanna Institute’s Illinois Demonstration Farm program and helps build community through agroforestry education across the state and beyond. Her background in anthropology helps illuminate the deep ecological and social connections created through agriculture and informs her work showing people how agroforestry can be of benefit to their landscapes and lives. Kaitie is drawn to agroforestry for its powerful reimagining of a future that is abundant, perennial, and beautiful. In addition, she teaches community classes on seasonal cooking, fermentation, and canning and runs Red Crib Acres, a small apple orchard on rented land, with her husband John Williams.
