Sofia Forier-Montes

Sofia Forier-Montes is an avid dirt lover who studied farming just so she could grow
delicious things to eat. She managed a non-profit farm in Tucson for several years,
implementing a 2-acre no-till system and growing a wide range of tasty vegetables for
donation to local food pantries. When it was time for a career change, she became a
grant consultant and has worked with various small farms, rural communities, and tribal
organizations throughout the state. She is deeply interested in the nexus of local food
movements, sustainability, and environmental health.

Sofia believes strongly that everyone should have delicious things to eat. She looks
forward to continuing to work with communities in the Southwest through her role in the
center.
