Seven years ago, in the first issue of Discover Concord, we introduced readers to Kristin Canty—entrepreneur, filmmaker, farmer, restaurateur, mother of four, and passionate advocate for changing the way we think about food.
Even then, Canty was thinking big. Today, the ideas she put into practice in West Concord have reached one of the culinary world’s most respected stages. Woods Hill Pier 4, her restaurant overlooking Boston Harbor, has earned a MICHELIN Guide recommendation—an impressive milestone in a journey that began close to home.
Meet Kristin Canty - entrepreneur, owner of three restaurants and a farm, innovator, busy mother of four, and ardent advocate for reconnecting people to the earth and animals that are the building blocks of our food.
In a quest to help her son who was plagued by severe allergies since birth, Kristin learned about the principles of ancestral health - based on pasturing farm animals, raising crops without pesticides, and placing an emphasis on the consumption of raw and fermented foods.
