Roxanne specializes in certified organic herb production at Winterspring Farm, a small direct-to-consumer operation north of Milwaukee, WI. Since 2012, she has farmed in many different contexts. From a 3-month WWOOF tour in Japan, to urban school and community gardens, to farm-scale production, the throughline in all of these is distilled into one operative phrase: “empathetic farming”. This philosophy emphasizes the somatic experience of land work by using the 5 senses of the body, mindfulness techniques, and empathy for oneself, fellow humans, and all the living creatures we share Earth with.
