Founder

Pat Featherstone started Soil for Life in 2002 out of deep concern for the environment and the growing number of people who didn’t have enough fresh food to eat.

Until her passing in October 2021, she worked tirelessly and with incredible passion to make the world a happier, healthier, and greener place.

The Soil for Life family is honoured to be entrusted with her legacy to teach people all over the continent how to grow healthy food for their families.
