Natasha Jonelle Roberson is the founder of Ruby’s Pearls Farms (Ruby’s Pearls All Natural Products), an 18-acre family farm in Blythe, Georgia. Established in 2024, the farm currently produces herbs, pears, muscadines, blueberries, and apples, with products sold through farmers markets, community events, and online. Natasha farms alongside her family and is also connected to a network of fellow farmers, strengthening both her farm and her community ties.
Natasha’s farming journey began in 2020, driven by a desire to reconnect with the earth and cultivate food as a source of life and healing. For her, farming is more than production, it is about nurturing growth, honoring the land, and finding meaning in the process of watching life unfold. Ruby’s Pearls Farms also serves as a trauma-informed healing space, creating opportunities for community members to experience the therapeutic power of land, food, and nature.
With the support of the 2025 RAFI Farmer Infrastructure Grant, Natasha will invest in farm enhancements that will improve efficiency, expand capacity, and strengthen the farm’s ability to continue serving as a place of nourishment, healing, and resilience.
