Meet Jada

Welcome to Fresh Roots! I'm Jada Williams, the owner and Lead Farmer here. As a newbie farmer with an insatiable passion for cultivating community and nurturing growth, I've embarked on a mission to bring the abundance of farm-fresh produce directly to your table.

My journey into farming began as a desire to bridge the gap between urban living and access to wholesome, nutritious food. At Fresh Roots, we're committed to empowering our community by not just providing fresh produce but also by sharing the joy and knowledge of growing your own greens, no matter the size of your living space.
