Katy David
(She/her/hers)

​Katy David is a cultivator at Farmshare Austin with a deep-rooted passion for community health, nutrition, and sustainable farming. With a background in biology, medicine, and public health, she has spent years working in primary care, health education, and nutrition advocacy. Before trading her stethoscope for a shovel, she worked as a family physician, counseling patients on disease prevention and healthy lifestyle changes.Katy has also worked as a chef instructor and health and nutrition educator for the non-profit organization Common Threads. There, she taught healthy cooking classes and provided health and nutrition education to students, parents, and teachers in underserved communities in Austin, empowering them to become healthy role models in their schools and communities.

Now, she’s helping people reconnect with their food—learning how to grow it, understand its impact on health, and appreciate its role in a sustainable future. When she’s not on the farm or in her home garden, Katy loves running, working out, cooking, reading, and spending time with her husband, Hank, their two kids, Emma and Will, and their two German Shepherds, Rosie and Hunter.
