2026 Changemaker of the Year Field Day – Sharing Our Roots

Join Marbleseed for the 2026 Changemaker of the Year Field Day at Sharing Our Roots (SOR) to explore how cultural agriculture, land stewardship, and community-based farming come together to create thriving, resilient food systems.

Participants will enjoy a guided land walk showcasing SOR’s work in land restoration, natural areas, and community gardens, followed by a farm-fresh lunch prepared by Sharing Our Roots growers.
