Arianne McGinnis abandoned a comfortable career path to co-create Hope Grows, a 6 and a half acre sustainable farm in Southeast Georgia that produced food for over 150 families, with fellow AmeriCorps alum Elliott McGann. She's an activist, teacher, and entrepreneur. Since then, Arianne established Revival Foods, Savannah, Georgia's first mobile farmers' market offering a variety of locally-grown, organic and pasture-raised foods.

Arianne is co-founder of Urban Redemption, a home-based urban permaculture project.
