ABOUT THIS VIDEO
Kara Wood always knew she wanted to do something in the field of
agriculture. But it wasn’t until her divorce that she realized that her
small-scale, home-based microgreen business could be turned into a
full-time career that could keep her close to home while providing for
her young daughters. Today, Kara owns and operates Bloom
Microgreens, a thriving organic microgreens farm based in her
hometown of San Luis Obispo, in California's Central Coast.
