Land Restoration Workshop 🪏 ⛏️ 🌧️🌱

It’s been a little over a month since we hosted our first Food Sovereignty Workshop as a program. 🌱
A huge thank you to everyone who came out to help us plant! It was a great opportunity to connect, share knowledge and experiences, and enjoy the positive energy that comes from working together on the land.

We’re excited to share that our corn is already knee-high! 🌽✨
We look forward to hosting another Food Sovereignty Workshop soon and hope to see both familiar and new faces at the next one!
