From the FARM

“FARM” (April 1st, 2017) asked participants to share their personal connections to the farm. "How have our peoples used farming as a way to create place in the face of displacement?"

As people of color, we crave spaces that deliberately center the voices and experiences of our peoples. Our lives are shaped by displacement, migration, loss of land, and access to resources. In the absence of land, we create space through ritual in the form of a meal.

Long-time collaborator Norma Listman helped us develop this menu as an ode to the land, to the seeds, including corn and beans, that have sustained our peoples for generations. Ingredients have been traveling from Mexico, India, and local farms including Namu Farm.
