Sara Smith-Rubio

Sara works at the American River Ranch in Rancho Cordova, CA. The Ranch and its Community Farm Stand are a part of the Soil Born Farms urban farming project.

Sara explains how she came to work at the farm and the reasons behind her current focus on youth education. She walks us through a typical farm day and shares the story of the first time she ever made chicken soup... from scratch.

The Farm has plenty of volunteer opportunities for Sacramentans who'd like to be a part of this remarkable urban farming project.

The DVD version of this story is available for checkout and is in the permanent archives at the Sacramento Public Library.

This story is made possible by a grant from the California State Library and is a part of the Digital Story Station project.
