Bio

Sally Voris was recognized regionally and nationally for sharing stories of the Patapsco Valley, her home, before she moved to the farm her parents had bought in 1966. In 2004, after a career combining gardening, storytelling, writing, teaching, and organizing, she began to develop White Rose Farm as a regional center to promote beauty, bounty, and balance. She completed a year-long part-time training program in biodynamic agriculture at the Pfeiffer Center in New York in 2009. She was recognized as a mentor farmer in the North American Biodynamic Apprenticeship Training Program in 2012. Throughout her career, she has developed programs that combine art, agriculture, and history and that create a shared sense of community. She has organized seasonal events, women's circles, full and new moon celebrations, and retreats. Sally believes that as we build relationships with each other and the world around us, we create invisible threads that link us heart to heart.
