Ashlie Thomas is a food security and home gardening advocate known on social media as The Mocha Gardener. Several years ago, she began her gardening journey with her husband on their one-acre North Carolina homestead. Through gardening, she has become more conscientious of local food systems and the health of the environment. Ashlie’s love for health, wellness, and the environment fueled her passion to grow food and bring awareness through practice to issues surrounding food insecurity in vulnerable communities around the country. It is her hope and mission to empower others to take control of their well-being through growing the very thing that sustains them…good, nutritious food.
