Nonprofit Organization Management - Lockhart, TX, United States
This journey all started when our founder, a disabled combat Veteran and Purple Heart recipient, woke up one day sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. She embarked on a journey to feeling better in a more natural way and looked into food as medicine. During her search she enrolled in a plant based culinary school where she was trained in Vegan, Vegetarian, Raw, Ayurvedic and Macrobiotic cooking. Almost immediately she began to feel the impact of incorporating a plant based lifestyle and she wanted to share it with her fellow Veterans.Since then she has been able to reverse an auto immune disorder that kept her in weekly treatments as well as discontinue medications that were slowly taking a toll on her health.She found a new passion with healing cuisine and decided that she needed to take control of what she consumed from the source, so she decided to start growing her own food. In sharing what she wanted to do with Rachel Patrick. our co-founder, they both decided to do something even bigger and From Boots To Roots was born.From Boots To Roots is a teaching and healing farm for Veterans. At the farm they will teach the fundamentals of growing your own food sustainably, plant based cooking, and composting as well as a program replication course for Veterans who are interested in managing a small farm or becoming urban farmers within their respective communities.Adria and Rachel believe that Veterans, especially women Veterans, have the innate characteristics to strengthen their communities ,and agriculture is the tool to do it.
