Intentions
After the gathering seeds, planted, tended to, and fostered during We the Land! 2024, we are thrilled to once again call in and connect our mycelial network of farmers, gardeners, activists, organizers, healers, artists, ceremonial holders, and all who orient within the intersections of land, food, and climate justice.
We The Land! is a biennial gathering uplifting Indigenous, Black, & Brown Earth Workers, Land Stewards & Farmers, creating a weekend container of knowledge exchange, grassroots organizing, land relations celebration, and sacred ceremony. We the Land will take place on August 7th-9th 2026 at Smith College in Northampton, MA.
In the midst of (un)expected global and political challenges, We the Land! is an invitation to pause, gather, and strategize collective futures in conversation with Northeast Farmers of Color Land Trust’s community-led network rooted in the following:
Interrupting the isolation often associated with being farmers of color in the Northeast by building relationships of mutual respect and joy, the foundation of community care, and movement work.
Coordinating our policy demands and catalyzing reparations for Black-Indigenous-POC farmers and land stewards.
Sharing skills, resources, and time— building collaborative projects and initiatives.
Collectively envisioning, enacting, and sharing ways to be in reciprocity with Land, in the process healing generational trauma and redefining the meaning of “farmer” and our care for the land and each other.
