Daphne brings a deep passion for cultivating meaningful connections between people, food, and agriculture to her work at Light Root Farm & Learning Center. With a rich background in biodynamic farming, small-scale dairy management, and farm-based education, she offers a unique blend of practical expertise and heartfelt teaching.
Over the past eight years, Daphne has developed immersive educational and therapeutic farm curricula that have become signature programs at Light Root. Her approach weaves hands-on agricultural experience with the art of authentic, responsive teaching—supporting people of all ages and backgrounds in discovering a sense of connection, purpose, and belonging through life on the farm.
Guided by a deep respect for nature’s rhythms and the inherent beauty, healing, and sacredness of the land, Daphne leads both the agricultural and educational dimensions of the farm. Whether teaching the intricacies of milking a cow or guiding a mental health group through the medicinal herb gardens, she creates grounded, mindful, and transformative learning experiences that open hearts and inspire growth on the farm.
