September 18, 3:00 pm ET

In this virtual session, Amyrose Foll of Virginia Free Farm and Flagship Food Rescue US Richmond Hub will discuss the preservation of culturally significant seeds and their connections to perseverance and to Native American Foodways. Amyrose will share about how planting a seed is a sacred way for a hungry soul to walk the path back to our ancestors, and reconnect with the Earth. Each seed is a gift in our hands because of the generations of farmers before us who held the ancestors of that seed.
