Kristin Aquino-Pham: Livestock Farmer

2024 has been a painful, traumatic year for this farm and . But FAITH is strong ‘round these parts, so keep an eye out for some promising changes and growth in 2025. Happy New Year, folks.

Hi, everyone!
As many of you know, I had a mental health crisis in August and have been in recovery/treatment for the past 14 weeks. I’m happy to report I’m graduating this coming Monday, 12/9. I look forward to reconnecting with customers, supporters, and the community at large in 2025.

My best girl friends started a GoFundMe to help pay for my treatment. They are 79% of the way toward their goal. If you feel the spirit move you, would you be so kind as to donate any amount to celebrate my upcoming graduation?

And, if you’d like to read more about my journey, please visit my farm website: https://kasamafarmfoundation.com/media?blog=y

Thank you so much for your compassion and generosity! Happy holidays!

-Kristin

**TRIGGER WARNING**

Two weeks of intensive treatment has me feeling ready to get back on video. In this video I talk about the symptoms/behavior I had leading up to my su***de attempt. I hope my transparency can help someone out there.

I’m so, so thankful for everyone who contributed to the GoFundMe. Heather and my other besties who started it are less than $4000 away from getting my whole program covered. 🥹

SIGNS

As a new struggling entrepreneur, and a person who’s generally motivated by validation, I need periodic signs that I’m doing something right… because I often feel I’m doing everything wrong.

Today I had the opportunity to attend a Senate Judiciary Subcommittee Hearing led by U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff, as a VIP Guest of one of the panel experts who is a mom-friend of mine. This hearing was completely unrelated to farming. I just wanted to support my friend.

After the hearing, as I stood in the small crowd of invitees quietly talking to the friend who invited me, someone came up to me and said, “I know you! You’re the lawyer who’s now a commercial pig farmer!”

A few people standing nearby overheard. Then I met the Mayor of City of Decatur. As I shook the Mayor’s hand, her colleague - who’s overheard that first interaction - said to her, “She’s a pig farmer!”

As I was walking out of the room, I said goodbye to the Mayor and overheard the Mayor say to one of the city commissioners, “She’s a pig farmer!”

Then, as I was standing outside the room talking to another one of the panelists, I met one of the young women who attended as one of her guests. This woman was her childhood best friend, and she looked familiar to me. I said, “Do we know each other? Where do you work?” She said, “Yes, I think so! I’m a lawyer.” I said, “Oh, okay, I’m also a lawyer. Or… I was. Now I’m a pig farmer.”

The young woman said, “Oh, yes! I know you! I follow you on social media!”

This isn’t the first time I’ve been recognized by strangers as a pig farmer. I hope it isn’t the last. This familiarity and recognition is how small businesses grow - and survive. I want to thank everyone who follows Kristin Aquino-Pham: Livestock Farmer and or on IG; shares my journey with others; and believes in my dream. I couldn’t do this without you.

As a farmer in the Deep South, I believe it’s a moral imperative to respectfully observe . The hard work toward true is far from done, but every step in the right direction is a win.
