Lisa Roark Brewer

Lisa Roark Brewer is the Resource Recovery Manager for Fertile Ground Cooperative in OKC, a composting and recycling cooperative that focuses on turning waste into community wealth. She has a background in permaculture and holistic nutrition, and is also a plant based chef instructor. Lisa’s passion for growing nutritious food, cooking the harvest, and sharing it with loved ones led her to study soil health, and ultimately to the science of composting. She comes to OKC from Dallas, having worked as a vegan chef instructor at the Dallas Arboretum prior to her role as Program Director for Turn Compost, a female-owned community compost company. Lisa has lived a low-waste, low-tox lifestyle since 2015, and is passionate about climate change education. Lisa is also an animal rescuer and doting mother to several animals who wandered up to Fertile Ground Cooperative in need of food, love, and a home.
