Meet the Farmer
Hi, I'm Sophie and welcome to my farm! After graduating from university, I decided to travel across the globe to Australia in 2018, looking to gain a hands-on experience. There, I stayed with the Nicholson family where I learned how they grow their own food and live off the grid. This was a huge moment in my life and was a big push leading me to want to work in the ecological farming sector. Since then, I have been increasing my agricultural, as well as carpentry skills, leading to the creation of the Rising Roots Farm! Rising Roots was created in order to combine the many passions I have including climate change mitigation, sustainability and human rights. Both my farm and my produce boxes are the result of my personal growth over the past 7 years. Feel free to learn more about my personal journey on my "About Me" page!
Some of Rising Roots' Commitments
- Act as a Climate Change solution: Sequester carbon through the use of ecological farming techniques
- Hold soil health as a top priority using techniques such as no-tilling, cover crops, as well as cutting out harsh synthetic chemicals like pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers
- Respect and care for surrounding wildlife, as well as biodiversity in the soil
- Partner and ally with BIPOC, LGBTQ2s+ and women farmers, recognizing the walls that they face in entering the agricultural world
