Eduardo Rivera

Eduardo Rivera is an immigrant farmer originally from Zacatecas, Mexico. He lived and learned on his grandfather’s farm and orchard until the age of 10 when his family moved to Flagstaff, Arizona. After starting a family of his own and moving to Minnesota he returned to his farming roots working at various garden-related community organizations until he decided to look for land to start a farming-related business. After leasing land for several seasons in Stillwater, MN, the family purchased 17 acres in western Wisconsin and since 2014, have run Sin Fronteras Farm & Food. Producing vegetables on 3 acres, Sin Fronteras offers a CSA program geared towards the traditional diets of the Latinx/Mexicanx community.

At the Sharing Our Roots Farm, Eduardo mentors Commons Cohort farmers on crop, weather, and business advice.
