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.

Alana Mooi
Managing Director
Ecosystem Role +
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!
Ines Frazier
Director of Community
Ecosystem Role +
Seed
Everything we need is within ourselves and we can grow and help our local community through engaging with others, soaking up nutrients, and sharing our gifts. #thankyousoil
Mel Heath

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.

Sunflower
Jessie Gardner
Ecosystem Role +
Nest
I gather and weave diverse, natural materials and partners together to create the right conditions for our work to be received, nurtured, and have an environment to spread regeneration wide open wingspan and fly.
Bjorn Minde
Ecosystem Role +
Earthworm
A peaceful wanderer ingesting ideas and multiplying nutrients in diverse systems.
Emma Sacks
Ecosystem Role +
Mushroom
Mostly I inhabit the unseen spaces deep below the surface. Occasionally, when the time is just right, I’ll pop out with a flash to show how fun I am.
Lauren Tucker
Ecosystem Role +
Compost Inoculant
Like a compost inoculant kickstarts and reawakens soil microbiology, I enjoy asking hard questions and disrupting current thought patterns – planting seeds so that each unique plant can be nourished to grow, flourish, and contribute.
Jade Lee
Director of Event Production
Ecosystem Role +
Myelin
My role is to support human connection by helping to cultivate connectivity. Utilizing my skills and passions for event production I help to create environments that insulate our community members in a membrane of love. This enables the electricity of inspiration and action generated to travel quickly throughout the group. Further this insulation acts to support pathways that will help maintain the strength of these powerful signals as they work their ways across the ecosystem.
Pamela Ledezma
Ecosystem Role +
Ant
I do the small tasks in the background that help build big things.
Eduardo Reyes
Ecosystem Role +
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.
Robyn Ford
Ecosystem Role +
Mycelium
In the same way they wrap around tree roots to form a wider network, connecting individual plants together to transfer information, water and minerals, so I find and tell the stories at the heart of what we do and transfer them to a wider network in the social space.
Evan Folds
Ecosystem Role +
Farmer
I love considering the role humans play in ecosystems, specifically spiritual science and the role of human consciousness in our ability to cultivate food that grows and nourishes human prosperity and potential.
