Abenaki Land Link Harvest Festival: Farm at VYCC (Richmond)
Description
Saturday, September 25th, 11am - 3pm
Join us for a day all about celebrating the harvest season through food, ceremony, storytelling and field walks. Learn more about the Abenaki Land Link Project, a collaboration between the Nulhegan Band of the Coosuk - Abenaki Nation and the Northeast Organic Farming Association of Vermont (NOFA-VT). This project provides Indigenous seeds to gardeners, homesteaders and commercial growers around Vermont to grow and harvest food for Abenaki citizens, while also providing an educational opportunity for the growers to examine the concepts of land access, food sovereignty and Indigenous crop resilience.
