Team now has 10 members! Lets keep it going as we need your support to reach our goal this year! Our food security programs have been underway since June, providing locally grown, fresh and healthy food through our collaborations and programs. We have committed to a year-round Food Access Coordinator position to help foster trustworthy relationships within the community and deepen collaboration with partnering organizations. Please join our team or donate today to support these initiatives and nourish members of our community experiencing vulnerability, food insecurity and and diet related health issues.

A good lesson, and reminder, from the Cree Nation.

Leave the seeds!!!
(And don't take more than you will use)

Please be reminded during ceremony season: There is a difference between male and female sage.

Male sage is most commonly used in tradional ways. Female sage is also used, but not as much. Why?

Female Sage produces the seeds that spread and bring .more sage. Without female sage there will be no male sage to pick.

Sage is becoming Scarce in places it has ommonly grown.

If you do not need it leave the female sage. It has the seeds to produce next year's crop.

Pick only what you need!!
If you clean a whole patch of female sage there is no sage for next year in this area.

Picking the seeded male sage means no more sage also... we .ust maintain the balance because some day... there might be none.

Don't forget to ask permission and thank the plant for it's medicine.
