101: Regenerative Farming: The interconnection of soil, food, and human health.

101: Regenerative Farming: The interconnection of soil, food, and human health.

Christa Barfield is the CEO of FarmerJawn Agriculture.


Christa is a health-care professional turned farmer and lifelong Philadelphia resident. It was 10 years into her career in health-care administration when her life led her to pursuing health and happiness in a more sustainable way. After a solo trip abroad in January 2018, she returned home inspired to connect with the land, plant life, and social issues that heavily impact Black and brown communities and all people’s perception of food. Her business is a reincarnation of her healthcare career with a focus on regeneration and nutrition security.

Now with 128 acres across 3 counties in PA, she has built FarmerJawn with an equitable focus on Food is Medicine and she is leading conversations locally and internationally on how to take a Farm first approach to America’s relationship with food and health.
