Join Commons Cohort Farmers of Sharing Our Roots 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.
Sharing Our Roots envisions a world where food and agriculture systems are profitable for farmers, fair to workers, beneficial to consumer health, restorative for rural communities and regenerative for the environment. The mission of Sharing Our Roots is to advance a resilient agriculture system that demonstrates the power to heal our lands, nourish our communities and prepare aspiring farmers.
