Perrin Milliken
Perrin grew up in the hills of Vermont collecting rocks, cross country skiing, and roasting marshmallows. Her love for nature landed her at Bowdoin College where she studied Earth Science and enjoyed cold ocean plunges. Perrin is excited to be part of the Rooted team because she is passionate about creating systems that facilitate a livable future for the earth’s communities and ecosystems. A lover of people and the outdoors, Perrin believes that designing sustainable, local, and vibrant agricultural networks is an essential part of the journey towards a world in which we all want to live.
