Dr. Cindy Ayers Elliot, Mississippi Farmer. Ten years ago, Cindy was working as an investment banker in New York when she decided to turn in her high heels for work boots. She moved back home and purchased a sixty-eight acres farm in the heart of Jackson, Mississippi. There, she uses USDA techniques, programs, and policies in her quest to help combat the state’s soaring rates of obesity and diabetes by getting healthy food on local tables and educating other would-be farmers in the process. She started with raised beds of cherry tomatoes on a tennis court—now dubbed the Serena Williams Tennis Garden—and has transformed her land into a full-fledged farm that rears goats, herbs, fruits, and vegetables as typical as collards and as novel as kohlrabi.
