Jaquelyn Zita
Farm Manager (North Circle Food Hub Director)
The Women’s Environmental institute runs an organically certified demonstration and education farm. In 2006, 2 years after Women’s Environmental Institute was started, we took over the neighboring farm land on Amador Hill in North Branch in an effort to connect our environmental justice work with agricultural justice.The methods we use are based on organic farming best practices and Growing Power methods. We’ve spent the last 9 years working to restore the soil quality through cover cropping and rotation and we currently grow over 150 varieties of vegetables and fruit.
We are committed to our local community and small local farms and have worked hard on the creation of the North Circle Food Hub to bring Organic and sustainably grown produce and animals to our friends and neighbors.
