Diana Austin was born and raised in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania but moved to rural West Virginia in 2001. A graduate of Penn State and Philadelphia's Thomas Jefferson University, she has a B.S. in Diagnostic Imaging and is registered with the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) as a Radiologic Technologist and with the American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography (ARDMS) as a Diagnostic Cardiac and Diagnostic Abdominal Sonographer.
Because she witnessed firsthand the harmful effects of the modern westernized diet and conventional drug therapies on the human body, she decided to move to West Virginia to pursue her interest in raising nutrient dense food on a farm of her own. By happy coincidence, she met up with Donna Betts, and is an original member of the Gravel Road Gang, a mentor and discussion group for female farmers.
Her memberships include Weston A. Price Foundation, the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund, and The American Livestock Breeds Conservancy. Diana currently works at a rural critical access hospital, and has experience raising pastured poultry and grass-fed beef.
See a picture of the Gravel Road Gang on page 32 of Women of the Harvest: Inspiring Stories of Contemporary Farmers, a 2007 book by Holly Bollinger which also featured Donna Betts among seventeen other women.
