Food Sovereignty & Land Stewardship
Reclaiming our roots, nurturing our future
Our Understanding
For generations, our relationship with food and with the Earth has been intertwined with our identity, history, and traditions. Yet, over and over again, systemic injustices threaten to sever this sacred connection, pushing us further from our ancestral lands and practices.
Achieving food sovereignty is more than just accessing nutritious food — it's about re-establishing a relationship with the earth, honoring ancient wisdom, and empowering our community to take control of its health and wellbeing. We are on a mission to transform how we relate to, grow, and share our food - centering respect, sustainability, and intergenerational wisdom.
Our Plan
Addressing Immediate Needs
Our Despensa Solidaria - a mobile food pantry - reaches over 300 families bi-weekly in Portland, offering opportunities to gather. By fostering and modeling community care, we bridge immediate necessities with long-term resilience and unity.
Expanding Our Farm's Infrastructure
Through our partnership with Land in Common, we've secured a 99-year lease, granting our community the transformative experience of long-term land tenure. We focus on sustainable food production, Indigenous leadership, and community.
