About Us:
Mission:
“to advance a resilient agriculture system that demonstrates the power to heal our lands, nourish our communities, and prepare emerging farmers.”
Vision:
We envision a world where food and agriculture systems are profitable for farmers, fair to workers, beneficial to consumer health, restorative for rural communities, and regenerative for the environment.
We provide land access.
We remove systematic barriers to accessing land and resources for emerging farmers & gardeners.
We work to dismantle the barriers in our agricultural system created by pervasive racism, sexism, transphobia, homophobia, and classism that have denied marginalized groups from equitable access to the basic needs that sustain all of us:
food, water, and land.
We create shared economy.
Through our initiatives, we are establishing local cooperative growing endeavors.
Our Commons Cohort members farm in community, sharing infrastructure, resources, and knowledge.
Our Community Connectors support local food security and sovereignty through 7 community gardens in Northfield & Faribault.
We model resiliency.
We demonstrate perennial agriculture’s capacity to heal the land and care for community. We are a land-based organization, rooted in the 163-acre
Sharing Our Roots Farm.
Through regenerative farming practices, we are restoring the farmland from decades of moncropped corn & soy production into a vibrant community of wildlife, plants, and humans.
