RBUFW Educational Demonstrations and Work Parties

About This Grant

This project will organize community work parties where participants engage in hands-on experiences while learning about organic food production. These events will feature educational demonstrations focusing on cultivating culturally relevant foods and sustainable agricultural practices. Participants will actively work in the greenhouse, taking part in tasks such as planting, harvesting, and crop maintenance. The work parties will teach skills in self-sufficiency, from seed starting to soil management, fostering empowerment and pride in growing food and land stewardship. By celebrating culturally significant foods, the project promotes food sovereignty, environmental sustainability, and community well-being. These hands-on experiences will create stronger connections among community members, helping them access fresh, nutritious, and culturally meaningful produce while building a sense of collective pride and food security. The anticipated project completion date is July 31, 2026.
