Brit Schneider

Community Education Coordinator, Soil Born Farms

Brit began working at Soil Born Farms in 2014 as a Farm Apprentice. She now splits her time between working in school gardens and supporting education and outreach efforts for the farm. She found her passions—working with youth, building community, sustainable agriculture, wholesome nutrition—while working and living in a rural community in Northern Peru as a Community Health Educator with the Peace Corps. She’s excited she gets to continue to explore and grow in these areas with Soil Born Farms.

Alyssa Kassner

Youth Education Coordinator, Soil Born Farms
Alyssa has always had a passion for the environment and became very invested in environmental and farm based education while getting her Master’s Degree at Antioch University in New Hampshire.  She has farmed with at-risk teenagers in New York, worked as a Farm-Based Educator in Vermont and as a Field Guide for a therapeutic gardening program for teenagers on the Big Island of Hawaii. Alyssa loves that at Soil Born Farms she gets to work with the land as well as teach the students about the farm and environment in a fun and meaningful way. Alyssa has always had a deep connection to the natural world and it brings her great joy to share the wonders of gardening and nature with others.
