278. Chefs turned Farmers | Confluence Organic Farm | Julia Henderson | Sebastopol, CA

I&#8217;m super excited to introduce my guest today Julia Henderson from Confluence Farm who is not just a gardener but a chef who is going to share their garden journey from restaurants to organic farming and more! Sorry folks show notes to be completed in the future! Enjoy the audio! Rockstar Millennials Confluence Farm is an organic vegetable and flower farm located in Sebastopol, CA along the picturesque Green Valley &amp; Purrington creeks. Julia and Andy are chefs turned farmers who truly understand high quality products and making people happy. We focus on generating the healthiest soil we can in order to grow the most nutrient dense and healthy vegetables possible. A confluence is when two entities come together, be it water or people. Our food and flowers bring people together, whether it be at on our farm, self grown and catered events, or nurturing our own community and family through markets. Our motto is “Come Together, Eat Well”. Tell us a little about yourself.
