Between Farm and Fork: Journey to Find a True Path by Dr. Janel Louise Ohletz
From rustic beginnings on a New Hampshire subsistence farm to the high-pressure world of epicurean entrepreneurship, Dr. Janel Louise Ohletz’s journey is a testament to resilience, reinvention, and the pursuit of authenticity.
At the height of a demanding career as a chef and innkeeper, Janel’s world was upended. Financial struggles, a painful divorce, and a looming health crisis threatened everything she had built. Through these hardships, she unearthed the most valuable lesson of all—how to strip away the clutter of doubt, fear, and past trauma to reveal the innate tools we each possess for success.
Part memoir, part guidebook, Between Farm and Fork is an intimate, inspiring story of survival and self-discovery. Janel’s deeply personal reflections offer readers a roadmap for navigating their own obstacles—whether in business, relationships, or personal fulfillment. Through her experiences, she shows that setbacks are not roadblocks but stepping stones toward a truer, more purposeful path.
If you’ve ever felt lost on the path of life, this book is for you. Join Janel on a journey of hard work, healing, and hope—one that leads back to the land, back to the kitchen, and, ultimately, back to oneself.
