Kaum joined Sole Food in the spring of 2024 after three years of work at various food security organizations in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. Kaum’s role is new to the farm and she’s excited to connect with Sole Food’s farming community, partner organizations, food businesses, and local produce enthusiasts. The only thing she loves more than cooking and farming, is cooking for groups of people with produce she helped to grow.
