Women Worldwide with Guest Ashley Tyrner

The host of Women Worldwide, Deirdre Breakenridge, welcomes her guest to the show, Ashley Tyrner. Ashley is the founder of Farmbox Direct -- a subscription service that sends locally-sourced, fresh produce to your home. Her story is absolutely amazing- while pregnant, her then-husband left her and she was forced to go on Food Stamps. During this time, she realized how nutritionally-deficient the food choices were for those on Food Stamps. Ashley decided to call upon her farming background to do something about it -- a long road later, Farmbox Direct was grown.
On the show, Ashley discusses how becoming an entrepreneur changed her life and some of the tough obstacles she has faced. She also shares her journey through motherhood and paying very close attention to exactly what was in the food not only she was eating, but also what she was feeding her daughter.
