While living and working on a small farm in the East Bay, Rachel developed a passion for edible gardening and gained hands-on experience managing over 70 fruit trees, practiced canning and preserving, and grew a variety of vegetables to eat and share with the surrounding community. She spent dedicated time propagating a wide variety of edible plants and embraced the lessons and growth that came with each season. Planting a giant pumpkin patch and selling the harvest at the farmstand was just one of many rewarding experiences along the way. What Rachel loves most about gardening is how much there is to learn and discover. Joining the Yard to Fork team has been the perfect way to continue that journey while helping others explore the joy of growing their own food.
