Elizabeth Almeida has been devoted to food, farming, family, and community throughout her life. She grew up on a multi-generation cattle farm in Ohio, where her family grew, canned, and froze their own veggies and meat. As a kid, Elizabeth was active in 4-H and FFA, winning many awards in livestock and cooking, including Grand Champion Chickens!
After college, Elizabeth spent a year living and volunteering in the Appalachian region of eastern Kentucky, where her eyes were opened to justice issues, including:
- Food justice, as it relates to affordable access to healthy food
- Environmental justice, in witnessing how the land was ravaged by corporations mining natural resources
- Economic justice, in witnessing the societal effects of a lack of employment opportunities.
She left Appalachia with a commitment to continue to work for justice. She lives out her values at Fat Moon, where she produces the healthiest of foods, recycles farm waste into a soil-enriching compost for local farms, and gardens, and provides jobs for her community. Fat Moon Mushrooms can be found in numerous local farmstands and farm to table restaurants around Eastern Massachusetts.
