Our Vision for Food Justice

The Food Justice & Sovereignty Program (FJS) cultivates equitable community spaces and biodiverse gardens, empowering underserved communities through hands-on education, land access, and the restoration of traditional ecological knowledge, ultimately fostering profound social and ecological justice and community resilience.

Our harvest season has started for 2025!

Due to funding purposes we unfortunately are not able to host stewarding days for individuals this season but we are offering organization volunteer days.

Reach out to fjs@hafnco.org if you are interested in bringing a group of volunteers from your organization to our garden!"

Our Core Activities

The FJS program is built on engaging, hands-on experiences within our urban gardens and farms. We empower our community through a variety of educational and collaborative activities.

Hands-on Workshops

Learn practical skills in organic gardening, seed saving, composting, and sustainable farming methods. Our workshops are designed for all experience levels.

🌱 Knowledge Sharing & Education

Participate in sessions focused on traditional ecological knowledge (TEK), nutrition, and the cultural significance of food within Indigenous communities.

🎉 Community Harvests & Celebrations

Join us for vibrant community gatherings, harvest festivals, and shared meals that strengthen local bonds and celebrate our collective efforts.
