Our Team

Our aim is simple: amplify the voices and stories shaping a movement.

We didn’t know it at the time, but when a doctor stepped out of the clinic and onto the farm field, it would set a powerful precedent for the path many of us would follow to Farmer’s Footprint. An entrepreneur turned non-profit leader, a performance marketer turned movement builder, a freelance graphic designer turned liberated artist, and a photographer turned farmer storyteller. All of these paths found a common thread in a deep-rooted passion for regeneration.

Our impact metrics are not black and white, but instead based on how well we move and apply our personal ingredients of energy and expertise into new connections, models, artforms and opportunities that give life to curiosity and nuance in the complexity of the food system.

We are here to help light a path for every one of us to participate in bettering our lands, our communities, and the nourishment of all.

Roots

I am mostly belowground to serve as anchorage. I absorb the nutrients to connect to the stems and hold soil particles firmly to prevent erosion, then help transport those water and minerals to the leaves, flowers and fruits!

Mel Heath

Director of Development

Clay

I’m here to nurture the soil of our team, allowing essential elements to be held and shared among us. I provide structure and support that help us bloom and thrive together, ensuring our collective potential remains abundant and sustainable.

Spider

Like nature’s best web developers I weave together emails and WEBSites that capture our audience’s attention and connect them to the journey of where our food comes from and the stories of the farmers that make it possible.

“Much like a canvas is to an artist’s masterpiece, a clear purpose is everything to me — and I believe there’s no greater purpose than the mission of Farmer’s Footprint. That alone would be special enough, but to be able to be a part of this journey with such an unbelievably inspirational team with their combined passion for creating a better tomorrow and renewing our lease on our shared planet, fills me with an overwhelming sense of appreciation every day.”

– Robyn

"We are living through a unique moment in time where our extractive way of life is a threat to the viability of human life sustaining on the planet for generations to come. We have the opportunity to regenerate our role as humans and business leaders to enable the conditions for life to thrive."

“It is easier to raise a healthy child than to fix a broken man,” a slight twist on a quote by Fredeirk Douglass. I love this sentiment so much because it speaks to the power of imagining a world beyond sickness. I want to live a life where we cultivate well being from the onset, instead of trying to chase the symptoms of disconnection.”

– Jade

“Every day provides an opportunity to learn and be grateful. It brings me joy to facilitate experiences that provide the opportunity to ground into understanding.”

– Emma

“Much like breathing, we never stop learning in life and what better way to bring awareness and learnings than by talking about the one thing that connects all of us, our food! I’ve learned more about the story of where our food comes from and the farmers that help bring it to life from this amazing team and it’s an honor to be able to further share that story with our audience and community.”
