Sara Morrison

Sara began her relationship with LSP as a participant in the Farm Beginnings course, which launched her farm business in 2012, thorough which she grew vegetables for CSA and wholesale. Sara credits the education, networking, and confidence she gained through Farm Beginnings, and later LSP’s Journeyperson program, in assisting her purchase of a farm in 2013, which enabled her to add grass-fed beef to her vegetable enterprise.

Sara received an MBA with an agriculture emphasis from the University of Wisconsin-River Falls and began working at River Market Community Co-op, in Stillwater, Minn., as the General Manager in 2020. She believes that smaller, independent markets facilitate depth in our foodshed and provide access for more farmers to participate in the food economy.

Sara joined LSP’s board of directors in 2022 and she currently serves as the board treasurer and the chair of the finance committee. She says it is an honor to work with a member-led organization and an inspiration to collaborate with people who work towards healthy communities and a more sustainable farming future.
