Community Care

Cultivate…

» Cultivate Your Local Medicine-Shed We love growing vibrant, potent, love-infused medicinal herbs for our community. We grow with your kitchen medicine cabinet, herbalism practice, and herbal business apothecary in mind. 

» Cultivate Community Creating space for connection and rest, which are also vital medicines, is at the heart of what we do. Find community in your fellow harvesters at our u-pick days! Join us for workshops and events held on the farm.

» Cultivate Connection Awaken is not only a place to find locally grown herbs. We invite you to tend your inner connection to the plants.  Sit with them, sketch them, listen to them, breathe in their aroma, leave an offering or prayer, rest in their presence… and if you choose to, harvest some to welcome into your home or herbal business. Also know that while we need to cover costs and earn an income from this work, profits are by no means our priority. Reach out to learn when you can come connect with the plants even if you are not able to or interested to purchase herbs at this time.

Reparations

This 80 acres that we steward is on Treaty 1 territory, lands of the Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota, and Dene peoples, and the homeland of the Métis Nation. As a form of reparations, we donate 10% of profits to Lake Winnipeg Indigenous, an Indigenous led organization working to heal and protect Lake Winnipeg and shine a light on Anishinaabe and Nehiyaw voices around the lake.

A portion of proceeds from the sale of Tulsi, a sacred Indian plant, will be donated to Aanandaa Permaculture Farm in Panchkula, India.

 

Safer Space

We will continually work to create a safer space for Black, Indigenous, People of Colour, and LGBTQ2S+ community members, adapting as we learn. We are currently working on policies & practices and are committed to reducing harm & redistributing resources.

This is also a non-judgemental space – though we love herbs, we recognize that many of us depend on allopathic medicines and there is no shame in that form of self-care.
