We’re starting a new series with FL Morris of Grassroots Farm in Monroe, Wisconsin. Today, she shares how she went from an art degree to a career in organic farming. She offers a dose of inspiration that we don’t need to have our whole farming career figured out, but rather take things step-by-step and follow our hearts.

FL Morris is a first-generation farmer, running Grassroots Farm in Monroe, Wisconsin, where she grows certified organic vegetables and raises pastured livestock. FL is a founding member, president and membership director of the South Central Wisconsin Hemp Cooperative, the first organic farmer-led hemp cooperative in the state.
