Podcast appearances and mentions of patti williams

On a crisp Monday morning, The Valley Today host Janet Michael sits down with Jaclyn Mommen at Patti's Place, nestled within the rolling landscape of Laurel Grove Wine Farm. What begins as a conversation about a local business quickly blossoms into a deep exploration of regenerative agriculture, community, and the power of small, intentional changes. Jaclyn, the driving force behind the farm, shares her journey from city life to stewarding the land, motivated by a desire to connect her family—and her community—to healthier food and a more sustainable way of living. From Frustration to Farming Jaclyn's story is one of transformation. Frustrated by the state of modern food systems and the health consequences of industrial agriculture, she and her husband decided to make a radical change. They moved to the valley, determined to grow grapes and raise their children on a working farm. As Jaclyn recounts, the learning curve was steep: mastering tractors, understanding soil health, and navigating the unpredictable challenges of weather and climate change. Yet, with each hurdle, her resolve only strengthened. The Science of Soil and the Art of Wine Transitioning to regenerative farming required more than just good intentions. Jaclyn dove into the science, studying soil health under a microscope and tracking the sugar content in grape leaves to ensure her plants thrived without chemical intervention. She explains how healthy soil leads to resilient crops, which in turn support healthier people. The conversation naturally turns to wine, a shared passion for both Jaclyn and her husband. For them, wine is more than a beverage—it's a catalyst for connection, conversation, and community. At Patti's Place, every bottle tells a story, not just of flavor, but of farming practices and environmental stewardship. Building a Community Hub Patti's Place is more than a farm market; it's a gathering space designed to foster connection. Jaclyn describes the evolution of the property, from discovering an old schoolhouse in the woods to creating a vibrant market and café. The name itself pays homage to Patti Williams, a beloved figure whose legacy is woven into the land. Today, the space offers everything from yoga classes to wine tastings, all with a focus on sustainability and local sourcing. Jaclyn's team—including family, friends, and passionate staff—embodies the collaborative spirit that makes the venture possible. Small Changes, Big Impact Throughout the conversation, a central theme emerges: meaningful change starts with small, consistent actions. Whether it's choosing chemical-free products, composting, or simply slowing down to enjoy a meal, Jaclyn believes that everyone can contribute to a healthier world. She shares practical tips and personal anecdotes, encouraging listeners to embrace progress over perfection. Looking Ahead As the conversation draws to a close, Janet and Jaclyn reflect on the future of Patti's Place and Laurel Grove Wine Farm. With plans to expand the wine library, host more community events, and continue improving the land, Jaclyn remains optimistic. Her story is a testament to the power of vision, resilience, and the belief that, together, we can cultivate a better future—one grape, one meal, and one small change at a time.
