Seeding Solidarity:

A Food Sovereignty Collaborative

Tended by Finca Luna Búho & Woven Roots Farm

Seeding Solidarity actualizes food sovereignty through fresh food distribution, workshops/knowledge shares, community gatherings, youth agricultural education, migrant justice support, language justice, ancestral connection and joy.

As a majority immigrant and BIPOC-led initiative, we are a holistically trust-based and culturally relevant initiative that is rooted in reciprocity and deep relationship with the land.

Seeding Solidarity is the largest solidarity share program in Massachusetts and the longest running food access initiative in Berkshire County.

Seeding Solidarity connects people with nourishing food and ancestral knowledge through:

  • Weekly door-to-door delivery of fresh produce grown at Woven Roots Farm

  • Workshops, knowledge shares, and land-based community gatherings where Black, Indigenous, people of color, and queer lives and voices are centered

  • Agricultural education in partnership with local schools and organizations

  • Support for migrant justice and cultural connection.

  • Deeply relational, trust-based organizing led by immigrants/BIPOC

  • Language accessibility and justice: 98% of our community is Spanish-speaking — every communication starts in Spanish, then gets translated into English, centering our experiences of language justice.

2024 Highlights

  • Door-to-door distribution of 33,590 pounds of fresh vegetables from January through December—over 10,875 miles driven across Berkshire County;

  • A 14% program increase this year from 162 to 184 families;

  • All with language justice access—providing weekly bilingual communications about nutritional, seasonal and culturally relevant information... with over 98% of Seeding Solidarity participants Spanish-speaking;

  • 9 youth agricultural and land immersions—with Berkshire Arts & Technology Charter Public School (BART), Home City Housing Youth Agricultural Scientists in Springfield & Williams College

  • Countless volunteer hours—ensuring deliveries— every week, without fail!—to our beloved Seeding Solidarity participants...(without any full-time paid staff...yet!)
