Food Warriors
Learning together how to cultivate healthy foods and healthy ecosystems.
Overview
In Food Warriors, you will join like-minded people training to produce food for their community. Beginners welcome!
Each student’s goal for the course?
1. Be inspired by Indigenous food warriors/food producers.
2. Explore their value systems and compasses for relating to self and land.
3. Walk away with a plan for bringing food to the people this spring/summer/fall...
From raised beds to hoop houses, from lawn farms to forest foraging, from the honorable hunt to the honorable harvest, we will take charge of our communities' local food production (and away from the corporations that seek to control it).
Students can learn at their own pace with the goal of distributing at least one harvest to their community.
In this course, we will:
Hear from expert food growers and guest speakers
Learn about soil and soil health
Explore seed sovereignty and seed diversity
Discuss sustainable, reciprocal, and respectful meat sources
Join a community of like-minded individuals and cultivate a community of care and support
Learn how to produce food for our communities one seed at a time
Generate personal plans for planting at least one seed (and maybe many more) in spring 2026
Register now to receive recordings, resources, and access to our online community.
All are welcome to join us virtually.
This course took place live on February 8, 15, 22, and March 1, 2026, and may be offered live again in the near future.
