Last Monday, Four Sisters Food Sovereignty and The Indigenous Food Network teamed up to host our first ever animal processing workshop at the Four Sisters Farm! We were joined by Derek Nicholas, a community knowledge keeper with incredible experience and knowledge in processing wild foods and native animals. Thank you Derek for leading us in this workshop and teaching us all the important skills to process duck! Thank you for rooting us in Indigenous foodways and lifeways deepening our relationship to culture and place. Thank you to all the community members who showed up and participated in this workshop: between, the plucking, butchering and cooking we quickly learned that so many of us have many food skills to share! The specialness of preparing and eating food in community was deeply felt at Four Sisters this past week, so thank you to all who attended and helped prepare for this incredible workshop.

Additionally, we would like to extend a special thank you to Lucky Lavender Farm, a queer-owned farm in Faribault Minnesota for providing the ducks for this workshop.

Stay tuned for more animal processing workshops through the IFN and Four Sisters farm.🦆🦌🐟

Join us at Fish, Fowl and Fauna! The Indigenous Food Network and Four Sisters Food Sovereignty are presenting three separate animal processing workshops this fall at the Four Sisters Urban Farm. These workshops are an opportunity for the community to learn more about Indigenous-centered foodways, returning to the traditional methods of preparing and processing different native animals. We will be joined by three incredible community knowledge keepers who will guide us through these processes. We look forward to welcoming the community into the garden. Stay tuned to our upcoming workshops!

This marks a wrap of our summer of 2026 internship at the Four Sisters Farm. We want to thank all of the amazing interns that participated in this summers internship, our interns helped steward both our main garden, maple arbor, and medicine garden and it was truly such a joy to watch them grow in their stewardship practices. They brought the energy, leadership and generosity to this space and we are incredibly grateful for all the wonderful seeds of joy and creativity they planted in our garden this summer.

"Before I started, I had never worked in an environment with peers round my age or in an outdoor setting so I wasn't sure what to expect. However, I was quickly met by the most kind, genuine people I have ever had the privilege of collaborating with," said one intern of their experience.

This was the last week at the farm! This week our theme was gratitude and stewardship! We finished our last week at the garde tending to our harvest, picking lots of green beans, tomatoes, and salad greens. We also made Sauerkraut with Zach from OFF TYPE Sauce & Spice, focusing our stewardship principles towards our gut health and learning more about the important ways fermented foods diversify the microbiome in our stomachs. We also learned more about soil health through composting practices, tending to our compost bin in the garden!

We finished the week off visiting Root Springs for our final retreat! We enjoyed lots of yummy homemade pizza and spent our time in joyous community, reflecting on our internship experience with lots of gratitude and care! Thank you The Fields at Rootsprings MN!

Welcome to week 9 with the interns! This week we had the amazing opportunity to visit Philly farm in Osceola Wisconsin! We prepared lots of yummy food from the garden like stuffed peppers and potato salad to our farm visit. At Philly, we also harvested lots of carrots, met many of their animals, pigs, cows and a donkey and hiked down an awesome waterfall. We also collaborated with many cool local orgs like Metro Blooms and Black Radish, digging up root stock at Black Radish and transplanting more wonderful plants into our companion planting garden.

Welcome to Week 8 with the interns! This week, our theme was Building Culture: Transition and Transformation. We had the opportunity to step away from the farm and steward a roundabout in the neighborhood planted with sage, milkw**d, sunflowers, and phlox, an important reminder of how spaces, plants, and communities can grow and transform with care. We also made chokecherry tarts and yummy risotto, and traveled to Stone Creek Farm to learn more about fruit tree farming in high tunnels. Did you know you can grow peaches in Minnesota??!!

This past week our theme was Policy and Organization in Ag! We visited Wozupi Tribal Gardens at Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community, learning more about how tribal nations in Minnesota practice traditional foodways, and distributing food to their local communities. Wozupi has an amazing maple sugar processor, and a really cool nut and fruit tree milpa system they are growing! We had the opportunity to w**d their Hickory Trees and stumbled across many ants and quack grass!

We also harvested some of our first tomatoes of the season from the farm, discussed the importance of our waterways with Destiny at Four Sisters, labeling storm drains with inspiring messages using stencil and spray paint. We also visited Eve at Milwaukee Ave and Cooked lots of yummy food!
