They Told Her She Couldn't Farm. She Proved Them Wrong. | By donating to CUESA, you are investing in farmers who are upholding your values, stewarding the land, contributing to a climate-wise future, caring for workers, and bringing nourishing food to our tables. And they need your support more than ever to thrive. This month, we’re featuring change makers in our community who are part of a fair and regenerative future. Today, meet farmer Marsha Habib, who joined the CUESA farmers market community in 2016. Marsha founded Oya Organics seven years ago as a one-woman farming operation, overcoming many barriers in a farming landscape that can be hard for organic farmers, and young women farmers especially. Marsha shared what your support has meant to her as she cares for the land, her family, and employees, bringing nourishing food to market. | |
