About me
Christa Barfield is a health-care professional turned farmer and life-long Philadelphia resident. It was 10 years into her career in health-care administration when she realized her work-life balance was unhealthy; she resigned from her job and embarked on a solo trip to Martinique and returned home inspired to connect with the land, decolonize the outdoors, and assess social issues that heavily impact black and brown communities and ALL people access to organic food. She is the founder and CEO of FarmerJawn, a 128-acre working farm, building a model that enables regenerative organic food production by and for underserved communities.
