Summary
🎙️ Today on Exploring the Marketplace with Shawn Bolz and Bob Hasson…
We’re thrilled to welcome Katrina “Trina” McAlexander Galloway—a nurse practitioner, community advocate, and third-generation farmer whose life and business are rooted in faith, family, and fearless perseverance.
Trina owns and operates a thriving 51-acre farm in Parkdale, Oregon, where she and her husband, Kenny, cultivate fruit, flowers, vegetables—and craft small-batch cider, beer, and wine through their farm-based business, The Grateful Vineyard. But her story goes far beyond farming.
In this episode, Trina shares:
* 🚜 How she combines healthcare, agriculture, and hospitality to serve her community
* 🍷 The birth of a vineyard and tasting room—and the heart behind it
* 🙏 Her faith journey through rejection, financial hardship, and intense legal battles
* 👩⚕️ Serving veterans and the marginalized through medical care and food security advocacy
* 🛠️ How God keeps bringing “upgrades” even in seasons of loss or transition
* 💪 What it means to carry a generational legacy with vision and compassion
From 20+ loan rejections to miraculous provision… from nonprofit legal threats to divine solutions… Trina’s story is a powerful testament to God’s faithfulness in the marketplace.
Whether you're building a business, stewarding land, or simply trying to stay faithful in a tough season—this episode will ignite your courage and strengthen your trust in God’s timing and provision.
🎧 Tune in now and be inspired by Trina’s incredible journey!
