Join Farmers of Sasa and Kilimo at Dawn2Dusk Farm
2022 Minnesota Commons Land Farm Walks
Join together this season for farm walks at three different commons-based farms (UFGA/TCALT, Sharing Our Roots, and Kilimo) to learn more about how emerging farmers are working together to steward land, grow food, and operate agricultural businesses outside of private land ownership. Engage with others about Commons and share visions for a future of shared land stewardship.
What is a land commons? Land commons are not a new concept, Indigenous cultures across the globe, for whom land ownership is a settler/colonial imposition, practiced for millenia (and still practice) community land relationships that are centered around community ownership and relationship with land.
What is Minnesota Commons Land? Minnesota Commons Land is an emergent group of allied organizations, farmers, and community members who support land access for emerging farmers who choose to farm in community land relationships.
Kilimo Minnesota is an organic incubator farm with a mission to empower emerging farmers of African descent, socially and economically through mentorship, farmland access navigation and community building.
Five family farms make up on the land of Sasa Organic farms. Dawn2Dusk Organic Farms, Lisaviole Organic Farm, Green Joy Farm, Gedef Organic Farm and Laurens Organic Farm. We are proud to grow the food that feeds your families. Thank you for supporting this tradition.
