Loving Roots Urban Farm

“Pure food from the heart. Grown with love always.”

Loving Roots Urban Farm is a small-scale, no-till vegetable farm using regenerative practices with emphasis on soil and microbial health. Jill focuses on fostering community relationships by knowing each of her customers and chefs, being a good steward of the earth and passionately growing food with love on her farmstead. 

Jill specializes in growing high-quality salad greens (even in the hot season!) by selecting heat tolerant varieties, using hydro-cooling methods, growing healthy transplants and using shade cloth. She also excels in growing beautiful baby root veggies, cooking greens and specialty vegetables. By farming on a small plot, Jill is able to tend to and love the soil, organisms, plants, volunteers, customers and herself through hands-on practices and deep-rooted care.
