All raised beds are filled with soil 💪🏽 we’re very thankful for Russ donating his time to Food Sov. He and Randy worked hard to get it done! Also, chi Miigwech to Roads dept for loaning us their dump truck.

Dirt is now available for tribal members! The pile near the Casino is first come first serve.

Happy gardening!

Looking forward to this webinar. We will be planting Juneberries at Ursula’s Farm and we also have Juneberries, lovingly called Saskatoons, available for our plant giveaway (tomorrow/Saturday 10-2 at Housing) generously provided by UW-Extension! Miigwech! ❤️

Join the UW-Madison Indigenous Food Systems Project for our next webinar.

🌰 June 3 from 12-1 PM CST: Growing Honeyberries, Juneberries, and Hazelnuts on a Small Scale

Interested in growing honeyberries, Juneberries and hazelnuts in your garden or small farm but unsure where to start? Join Steffen Mirsky (UW Extension Emerging Crops Program Coordinator) to learn the fundamentals of perennial fruit and nut production. The session will then take a closer look at the unique considerations for these three emerging crops in Wisconsin. Topics will include site selection and preparation, cultivar selection, planting, management, and harvesting.

In case you’re curious what over $1,300 of plants looks like!! Hausers grew us a variety of tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, acorn squash, cabbage, broccoli, herbs, and flowers for our plant giveaway.

The money for these plants did not come from a grant. It came from program revenue and donations. Every bit counts and goes right back into the community.

We can’t wait to share these with you! 🪴
