What is Rootswell? A Creative Community food system meant to shift the paradigm of food apartheid
There is a burgeoning food ecosystem in the Delta that’s powerfully claiming ownership of food and farms.
Under this brand, we’ll be able to shine a light on the work already being done, as well as source funding and other resources for small farms and businesses.
We’ll help locally-grown produce find its way into local kitchens onto families’ tables and demonstrate a healthier way to living fully and joyfully in the Delta.
