About us
Our partnership reflects a shared love for community, resilience, and harmony with the earth. Since 2020, the Way of the Root Farm has grown into a thriving space where climate-smart farming, hands-on learning, and Project Sweetie Pie’s expertise nurture more than crops—they nurture unity and opportunity. By expanding youth agricultural programs and offering safe, meaningful activities during vulnerable times, we help young people reconnect with the land, build skills, and strengthen the future of our Twin Cities communities.
