Sarah Sohn (she/her) is Co-Director of the Braiding Seeds Fellowship. Sarah has worked on small vegetable farms on and off since she was a teenager and has had the joy of working with hundreds of brilliant beginning farmers since 2015. Sarah is Korean American and grew up in Michigan, which is where she worked on her first farm and learned to grow garlic, the vegetable she remains most identified with to this day: sometimes pliant, sometimes a little rigid in the stalk, sometimes curly, always stinky. Fellow garlic people: we contain multitudes!
