Hi, I’m Katie Kulla,
a writer & illustrator.

I make stuff out of my experiences farming, parenting, building community, living in seasonal rhythms, and more.

My second book Farm-Raised Kids is coming out Oct 29! I also co-host the Growing for Market magazine podcast. Stay current with what I’m working on via my email newsletter (sign up here) and Instagram!

I do take commissions for writing and/or illustration projects that spark my joy!

Farm-Raised Kids

— Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods and Vitamin N
