Food and Seed Distribution

Food Distribution

In collaboration with Native community partners and local farms, we distribute Native foods, medicines, and local organic produce to Native community members and families throughout the Bay Area. Our food distribution program increases access to traditional foods – such as heirloom chiles, corn, and dried beans – and ancestral medicines – such as tobacco, sage, and cota tea.  

Native Seed Library

Each season we grow, save, and share seed from culturally important Native heirloom crops and California native plants. Our Native Seed Library reconnects Native community members with their ancestral seeds and helps to keep alive seed stories and seedkeeping traditions from across Turtle Island. Seeds in our living library include Seneca White Corn, Cherokee Georgia Candy Roaster Squash, Hopi Black Dye Sunflowers, White Buffalo Calf Woman Tobacco, Zuni Gold Beans, and many other sacred varieties.   

In the coming seasons, we will be expanding our distribution to include Native plant starts to more deeply support local community food sovereignty.  

Please get in touch if you would like to learn more, share seed, or request seeds and plant starts!
