Events & Workshops

At our land sites, we host and produce public events and workshops with Native Elders, farmers, chefs, basket weavers, herbalists, and other knowledge holders. We center Indigenous Agriculture, Native cooking & preservation, ethnobotany, and more. From Spring Planting Day to Fall Harvest Gathering, the season is filled with moments of intertribal, intercultural, and intergenerational exchange. Our growing spaces are also open for field trips and other learning opportunities for Native community members of all ages to connect with and learn from the land.    

Farm Volunteer Days

We host regular farm volunteer days for all community members to further connect with our work and get their hands in the soil at our growing sites. From planting to tending, harvesting to seed cleaning, there are plenty of opportunities during the season to support our farm and food distribution. 

Please join our mailing list to keep up to date about events, volunteer days, other learning opportunities, and more.  

Internships & Apprenticeships

Core to our vision is cultivating the next generation of land stewards. We offer Native Foodways internship opportunities for Native youth to dive deeper into farming, plant medicine, ethnobotany, cooking, community education, and more. These land-based learning journeys are grounded in reconnecting to cultural lifeways and relearning traditional practices. We are also building a comprehensive Native Foodways Apprenticeship Program to further our commitment to the future farmers, land stewards, and leaders of Indian Country.
