Herbs Growing Humans: Soil Sisters Farm
First up, our friends and neighbors in the community, Maisie and Willow of Soil Sisters Farm.
Soil Sisters Farm is a diversified farm in the Sierra Nevada Foothills of California, on Nisenan land, and a stone’s throw from the South Fork of the Yuba River. They are a women-owned business, founded in 2010 with a commitment to valuing healthy relationships – to oneself, one another, and the land – as a way to bring health and beauty into the community. They raise flowers, vegetables, and a pretty happy population of bees on a parcel land just outside of Nevada City.
Their working manifesto speaks for itself. “To pursue farming by our own standards of success and health. To value women’s voices and women’s wisdom. To celebrate the slowness of seasons, the patience of god, the beauty under our feet, between our hands, and in the river.”
