The Sharing Our Roots Farm in 2016 and after its transformation to a regenerative system.

Build Healthy Soils

• Sharing Our Roots Farm is restoring soils degraded through conventional row cropping.
• The goal? Build carbon, organic matter and biological activity in the soil.
• Healthy soils draw down carbon and hold rainfall where it falls.

Work Toward Equity and Healthy Diets

• Sharing Our Roots Farm grows a variety of vegetables for local markets and provides land for the community to grow culturally valuable foods.
• A plant-rich diet is a top solution for addressing climate change.
• Climate change is disproportionately affecting communities of color and is a major contributor to our worldwide refugee crisis and migration patterns.

Grow Perennials

• Sharing Our Roots Farm has 10,000 shrubs and trees of various species, including hazelnut and elderberry.
• Perennial agriculture reduces greenhouse gas emissions and draws down carbon.

Graze Animals

• Sheep, cows and chickens are raised on the farm.
• Grazing animals, with their manure and hoof action, increase life in the soil and may result in a net greenhouse gas reduction.

Restore Natural Areas and Hydrology

• Sharing Our Roots Farm is restoring wetlands and the water’s natural flow and maintaining buffers along waterways.
• This restoration draws down carbon, restores water quality and increases biodiversity.
