Ariella Falkowski of @sweetacresfarmer is a partic

Ariella Falkowski of @sweetacresfarmer is a participant in our 2020 Business Mentorship Network. She leases land at the Lohbrunner Community Farm Co-op in Langford, BC. The pandemic brought on a new suite of challenges for Ariella, requiring her to work harder than she ever has in her farming career. Can any other farmers relate to this year's struggle?

Read about how Ariella is getting back on track, and why this was the summer of huge carrots! Link in bio under “New on the Blog”

Thanks for the real talk, Ariella. Hope you get some well-deserved R&R this winter ❤️

Psst- We will be hearing from Lohbrunner Community Farm Co-op on Nov 10 during the Land Forum. Learn more at our link in bio under “Events” or at youngagrarians.org/landforum2020

The @sovereignseedsnetwork FUNDRAISER FOR INDIGENO

The @sovereignseedsnetwork FUNDRAISER FOR INDIGENOUS SEED KEEPERS is still going strong! 🌱 Link in bio to donate.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“In response to the preexisting food insecurities intensified by COVID-19, we are facilitating the COVID-19 Indigenous Seed Crisis Response Circle, an Indigenous seed stewardship collective operating with a commitment to nurture Indigenous seed varieties for improved seed health and access through and beyond this pandemic.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Through this collaboratively-governed seed network, dedicated Indigenous seed leaders have come together to grow Indigenous seed varieties in the 2020 growing season to increase seed supply. Seeds generated through the Circle will be lovingly redistributed to Indigenous individuals and initiatives requiring access to their ancestral seeds for food and seed saving next year. Indigenous seed keepers and initiatives comprising this collaborative seed collective include @blackbird_medicines , Igataqan, Ininīwikistayikēwin, @kenhtekeseeds , Kete Miinakaan Kitigaanens, Mtigwaaking, and Stephen Silverbear McComber of Kahnawake Collective Impact’s Three Sisters Mound Garden initiative. This Seed Response Circle project is inspired by a project recently initiated by Sovereign Seeds’ partner network, the Indigenous Seed Keepers Network at @nativefoodalliance , who are developing an Indigenous-led Indigenous Seed Growers Cooperative south of the border.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Indigenous seed efforts and earth work is systemically undervalued, inadequately compensated, and destabilized by land displacement, environmental racism, industrial agriculture, seed commodification, and biocolonialism. Through our fundraiser for the Circle, we are striving to honour these seed keepers' vital work, and to reciprocate their community care through stipends and funding support for their gardening and seed initiative costs. Your donation to the Circle will go directly towards supporting these seed leaders. By supporting the COVID-19 Indigenous Seed Crisis Response Circle you are supporting a more just and climate-resilient future for the generations of seeds and seed keepers to come!”

A sweet farmer face and dahlia to brighten your Tu

A sweet farmer face and dahlia to brighten your Tuesday. 🌺 @wildbeeflorals originally posted this in August, but we think it’s appropriate to share now too. Here’s an excerpt from Thanu:

“I recognize and feel with you that another really tough, emotional week passed by. It’s ok to take time to process all of these emotions. It’s ok to be sad and confused when we fail to see the much needed progress in our neighbouring country, as well as Canada portrayed in media, but be assured, progress is happening. Individual rest is needed to keep on trekking and spreading love.”

She then goes on to offer free flowers to folks who may not be able to afford them. We need more people like Thanu in the world!

We hope y’all are able to take some down time amidst the autumn hustle (dahlia digging included) ❤️

Announcing the Online Land Forum from Nov 9-19! 🐑 🌽 🍎
Join us from the comfort of your couch, office, tractor, compost heap – wherever you find yourself able to tune in!
The Land Forum will cover everything from leasing basics, to how to transition land and farm businesses to the next generation. There’s something for everyone, from exploring what goes into building a strong land sharing relationship, to how to make a private mortgage happen, to farming in co-operatives and land trusts. You’ll hear from Land Matchers as well as farmers in your community. We’ll also be hosting regional networking sessions for land seekers and landholders.
Check out the line up of webinars and register here: youngagrarians.org/landforum2020 or at our link in bio under “Events”
