Bio + Contact

When Diana Prichard was a little girl her mother used to tell her that she should marry a hog farmer when she grew up. She considered it, but then decided to become one instead. She always was best at misbehaving.

Today, she is the owner/operator of the small farm, Olive Hill where she raises — among other things — heritage hogs on pasture and produces the best pork you’ll ever eat. But swine is not her only passion. She is also a freelance writer with a focus on food and agriculture as well as a professional speaker.

Her work has been syndicated by major media outlets such as BlogHer, and mentioned in national publications like the New York Times.

She is a contributor to both Try Handmade, where she writes about the local and artisan food scenes; and The Broad Side, where she provides commentary on food and agriculture news.

And last, but certainly not least, she is a contributing author in the 2011-realeased book, Mothers of Intention: How Women & Social Media Are Revolutionizing Politics in America .
