Hana’ Maaiah

Peace! My name is Hana’ Maaiah (she/her/all pronouns), and I am a Palestinian-Jordanian nomadic farmer, beekeeper, educator, friend and organizer. My forever fascination of Earth’s intersections in farming, energy, climate, race, politics and spirituality has brought me to Montana as a River Ranger, Oregon to study Environmental Science and Environmental Agriculture, and Alabama as an Assistant Farm Manager and mentor in youth programs. In learning that “to free ourselves, we must feed ourselves” (Leah Penniman), I landed at Soul Fire Farm, starting as the Interim Farm Manager and currently serving as the Food Systems Manager.  After almost a decade of farming and teaching around the country, I learned the urgent need to bring advocacy and care for the Earth from the fields to the streets. As “all revolution is based on land” (Malcolm X), the power of regenerative and communally grown food heals our planet, builds trust in our communities, and gives us reason to keep learning, dancing and feasting. When I’m not farming you can find me in the woods, by a river, and literally hugging trees.
