Nicole Carlin
Nicole Carlin resides in Sharpsville, Pennsylvania, after 20 years in the city of Pittsburgh. She has spent the last 20-plus years working in ministry alongside her husband, partner in crime and now pastor. They spent a year in Haiti, worked with faith-based agricultural projects, built a house, have spent over a decade in college ministry, and are raising four amazing kids. They bought a farm in 2015 and are embarking on the adventure of animal husbandry. Nicole is a maker of many things: home, food, garden, art, writing, friendship, and joyful noise. She loves Jesus, her family (of course), J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S Lewis, and Wendell Berry.
