Sara Puharich

Sara Puharich grew up on a beef and horse ranch in western Colorado. She completed her BA in Sustainable Community Development with Prescott College in July 2008 with an emphasis in sustainable agriculture and leadership. Sara highly values holistic thinking and acknowledgment of the symbiosis between myriad participants in ecosystems—human, plant, animal, vegetable, mineral, light, water and air.

Michael Puharich

Michael Puharich converted to agriculture later in his life, when he apprenticed with Henry Brockman on his vegetable farm in southern Illinois. A trip to Italy also confirmed Michael’s need to grow and eat food where quality matters. Michael values the rhythm of work on the farm. His passion is to ensure that future generations have access to the flavors and nutrition of home-grown foods.
