Farmers
Sara Krohn
Sara thoroughly enjoys the routines of life, finding joy through practice and the resulting skills that are often discovered. Feeding ourselves is one of those routines that may seem mundane but, when put into context, is arguably one of the most important human routines on the planet. The current ways in which many industrialized societies are fed disregard the needs of the people they feed, the needs of the land on which food is being grown, and the needs of the ecosystem as a whole. She believes that working with the land in a way that looks holistically at the planet and all of its biospheres is the best place to start when it comes to meeting our basic needs. When Sara isn’t farming or fermenting, she loves riding her bike, paddling, reading, crafting, and any outdoor adventure.
Sam Odin
Sam is continuously exploring a more diverse, critical, and reflexive comprehension of what he believes are today’s most decisive questions. Naturally, this pursuit of life's hidden answers lured Sam into one gnarly, albeit fun as heck, wilderness. From expeditions in the backcountries of North America, to studying philosophy, anthropology, ecological economics, and geography in college, and to making music and touring the country with his best friends and bandmates Horseshoes and Hand Grenades, Sam didn't take long in finding the most logical synthesis of all his loves; farmsteading. For over a decade, Sam has grown food for himself and others. In addition to examining the food system directly in Milwaukee, Sam works to situate it’s particularities in an ever-dynamic and connected world. Nose-deep in a book, wrist-deep in the soil, forefinger plucking the bass, and his heart set on revolution, Sam applies his love of and dedication to our world and it's inhabitants to each critique, plan, long-winded bio, and of course, every seed sown.
Ali Odin
Ali fell in love with farming for its physicality, its ever challenging and dynamic nature, yet beautiful rhythm, and for how it swept her further into the wonder and mystery of life each day.
For over a decade, Ali has been living and working on certified organic and biodynamic farms along the West coast. Feeling a pull towards home, she farmed for another two seasons with Sam and Sara before setting off again, traveling in Central America, trekking across Spain and Portugal, and hiking solo through California on the Pacific Crest Trail. Inspired by the healing and self-awareness she found in farming, she is currently pursuing a master’s degree in mental health counseling at Marquette University, with the intention of integrating this knowledge within nature-based approaches to therapy. With an enduring love of the natural world, she is always happiest outside, whether camping, paddling, or with her hands in the soil connecting to life in the most inherent of ways.
