Growing Wellness: Empowered Decision-Making

MOSES Organic Farming Podcast

In our first Growing Wellness farmer-led mental health support group, guest speaker Lori Cox offers advice to help farmers create plans for resilience, set goals, and make difficult decisions. This season has been a turbulent one for many producers, and farmers will have to continue to work with uncertainty due to climate change and COVID into the future.

Lori is owner/operator of Roots Return Heritage Farm in Carver, Minnesota. The farm produces u-pick fruits, and plants continual rotation cover crops using no-till. CRP, native pollinator strips, and hedgerows round out the property's 16 acres of holistic habitat. Lori serves as an advisory board member for MN Ag Water Quality Certification program, and Carver County Water Management Org. She also serves as executive board member of MN Ag in the Classroom Foundation, and MN Institute for Sustainable Ag. Prior to farming, Lori worked as a project manager and consultant for financial and technology companies.

Growing Wellness will have monthly meetings with a short presentation followed by a discussion. Join the group to participate in the private discussions.
