Annual 3 Sisters Planting & Food Sovereignty Project

Our annual food sovereignty project is dear to Aric's heart as it is the growing of heritage native dent corn seed. These seeds have been entrusted to Aric by native elders over the years that they will be grown with the teachings and integrity that must be taught to others.

To discover more about what food sovereignty is, visit our Q&A pages for posts and articles.

This project is actually the planting, maintaining and harvesting of the Three Sisters method of companion planting of corn, beans and squash. Aric has been gifted the traditional teaching and wants to share with people that would like to join him in these traditions.

Project Overview

Throughout the growing season (June to October) participants will partake in the preparation of the soil and mounds, then the seeding, maintaining and harvesting of the Three Sisters. Participants will have the opportunity to build lasting friendships and journey together, building upon some of the oldest traditions of food and the earth.

To bring our vision to fruition, we would appreciate participants committing to being present for as many of the program days as possible.
