Rachel is a first generation farmer and has a master's degree in Industrial Environmental Management. Rachel and her husband, Brent, spent a few years learning to be minimalists through van life while managing an aquaponics farm in TN and then a regenerative farm in NJ. The now family of three owns Resilient Growers Farm which was started in 2020 in a backyard one acre lot. Since 2021, the farm has found its permanent home in Skiatook on 20 acres utilizing USDA loans and grants. Rachel focuses on a diversity of vegetable crops as the main source of income but has a goal to increase meat duck and sheep production to obtain a fully integrated diversified farm. Resilient Growers farm utilizes many regenerative practices like no-till, deep composting, rotational grazing, and silvopasture. The vision for the farm is to have the ability to adapt quickly to a changing environment, economy, and culture through diversity in every aspect.
