    Nurturing Humanity: rehumanizing ourselves by how we relate; welcoming accountability, love, honesty, and shedding colonial, racist, capitalist, paradigms and narratives

    Cyclical Living: harmonizing with our environments, circumstances, and the Seasons

    Reverence for Elements: honoring the elements that give life; Water, Air, Fire, and Earth

    Rest & Fun: bringing in ease, joy, and humor

  • About Us

    Sol Root was seeded as a vision in 2018. From 2019 - 2021, that vision started to sprout when generous farmers allocated part of their field towards our learning and growing. In 2022, we applied to lease land at the Sunol AgPark and were granted our first land lease. And we continue to blossom from there.

    A long-term goal is to transition into a worker-owner cooperative farming and herbal medicine business.

    Sol Root approaches farming as a healing arts practice, where we create spaces for people to reconnect with nature and themselves.

    What does this look like? We bring in astrology, ancestral veneration, ceremony, and ritual into farming and how we operate our business. We share space where heavy hearts can transmute pain into beauty by being on the land. We know that the land needs us for healing too and that when we help something grow it helps us grow, as people, and as a community.
