Mission
Just Roots was created in the fall of 2017 when co-founders Sabrina Poulin and Sean Ruane began to see how large groups of people were unable to access local, sustainably grown produce because of socioeconomic, educational and cultural barriers. They began to critically think about ways they could work together to reduce barriers and create pathways for people of all backgrounds to access food that's good for their family, their community and the environment.
About
After two years of operation as a non-profit urban farm, Just Roots has distributed over 14,000 pounds of local, sustainably grown produce and provided free educational programming to over 500 students and adult learners.
