I had the opportunity to catch up with Steph for a coffee a couple of weeks ago at my local Common Ground Project, where we chatted all things business, community and lifestyle.

Lento translates to 'slow' in Portuguese which Steph felt was a fitting title that reflected the vibes she had from her stay.

I’m really excited to highlight Kinsfolk Farm, not just because their produce is delicious and they’re really nice people but because they are contributing to a solution.
