Join us as we chat with our friend, Farmer Aaron of Sowing Roots Farm in Underhill, VT. We discuss topics like the consumer culture in which we live (especially hyped up as the holidays approach), giving back to our communities, minimalism and a lot more!
Aaron, originally from Columbus, Ohio, made the move to New England in 2016 and quickly felt a connection to the region. His professional journey with the land began in 2010, evolving through various opportunities such as a landscape business owner, Master Gardener Volunteer, Homesteading, and ultimately leading to the establishment of Sowing Roots Farm in 2021.

Beyond his horticultural pursuits, Aaron is a devoted husband and father of two boys, a spirited advocate for volunteering, a dedicated member of his church, and a lifelong photographer.

His passions revolve around humanity and its sustenance, underscoring his commitment to making a positive impact on the world.

In addition to his farming responsibilities, Aaron is an outdoorsman. During the farming season, you'll find him diligently tending to the land, but on other days, he immerses himself in the beauty of the local habitat—whether it's kayaking, fishing, hiking, or Snowboarding. Aaron believes life is intended to be a harmonious blend of family, and farming, predicated on a deep appreciation for our food, our neighbors, and the gift of land.
