"One of the most powerful things I’ve learned during my time in the Root & Bloom Fellowship is that I’m not alone. Being a farmer, especially in a rural area and even more so as a farmer of color with progressive values can often feel isolating. But through this fellowship, I’ve connected with so many like-minded people who are navigating similar experiences and challenges."
