Shawn Harrison, Founder & Co-Director at Soil Born Farms.

Recently We had the pleasure of visiting Soil Born Farms right here in Rancho Cordova. If you have never visited Soil Born I would recommend a visit.  

 

So what is Soil Born Farms? 

Inspired by a shared vision of healthy food for all, a dedication to improving the quality of life in our community and a love of the natural world, three co-founders transformed the farm into a non-profit organization in November 2004. With help from a small group of talented staff and apprentices, foundation grants, grassroots support, dedicated volunteers and encouragement from community partners, Soil Born Farms grew to operate two urban farms on 55 acres in Sacramento and Rancho Cordova. It has evolved into a nationally recognized center for the promotion of urban agriculture, sustainable food systems, and healthy food education. 

Soil Born Farms is about so much: growing food, mentoring youth and future farmers, teaching people how to cook and garden, creating urban farms and preserving wild spaces, developing partnerships and improving access to fresh produce throughout our community, and at the core, it is about making a difference. It means transforming a shared vision of healthy food for all into a local reality. 

On this episode of the Rancho Cordova Podcast, we have an informative conversation with Founder and Co-Director Shawn Harrison  

So join us on this journey toward a healthier Rancho Cordova and Sacramento as a whole.
