We kicked-off August with a visit from Lucy Grignon, a friend of the farm, founder of Ancient Roots Homestead, member of the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohicans Nation and descendant of the Menominee Nation. Lucy shared some of her seed relatives with us last year and has been guiding our farmers through their cultivation here on her ancestral homelands. The youth from North East Community Center joined the Sky High Farm Fellows to have a meal, learn about Lucy’s seed relatives, connect with the land beneath their feet through writing and drawing, and tell stories about their personal relationships with food.
