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. With Rootswell, we’re using PHA’s clout and experience to build a brand that will connect all the dots of that ecosystem and lift all boats.
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.
