The beginning…
The Steele sisters are a dynamic sibling duo that stem from generations of green thumbs and lovers of the natural world. They are both brain injury survivors that have found healing in food, farming, gardening, and community.
Our goal is to foster resilience among individuals living with brain injuries. By providing a safe and communal space tailored to their needs, TBI survivors can connect with others who share similar experiences. This environment enables them to exchange valuable resources for effectively managing symptoms, while also instilling a sense of purpose through the learning and development of useful horticultural skills.
ResilientSeed Healing Farm is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt non-profit organization.

Kylie
Co-Founder, President
(she/her)
Kylie’s background is in teaching young people, outdoor environmental education, social justice & community engagement. She is inspired by the magic of planting seeds and eventually finding food at the end of its life. Taking care of a single strawberry plant and admiring her neighbor’s urban gardens helped sustain her when her brain injury was most acute and the challenges felt insurmountable. The resiliency of plants helped her find hope, meaning and purpose.
