Our story
Hunger leaves more than an empty stomach — it leaves a mark. At Rooted By Her, we know that mark intimately. We are a women-led village born from lived experience with food insecurity and caregiving challenges. Our belief is simple: your humanity is enough. No paperwork. No shame. Just love.
We grow fresh, organic vegetables and fruits solely for the community — not for sale, but for sustenance. We hire senior women — our grandmas — to provide loving, culturally rooted childcare while sharing recipes, stories, and seasonal cooking lessons. Moms receive off-hour support and mental health care, all while contributing sweat equity in our garden or classrooms.
We’re not waiting to be saved. We are saving ourselves — together.
