Amanda Wong
Amanda Wong is co-owner of Star Route Farm and organizer of the Catskills Agrarian Alliance. She continues to work towards a complete food system transformation that (1) prioritizes living wages, healthcare, and secure housing for all food system workers, (2) centers and creates conditions for BIPOC agrarianism to actually flourish, (3) replaces extraction with mutual-aid and the communal sharing of resources, (4) grows food naturally and takes care of the soil, and (5) is led by the working class and serves all people with nutrient-dense, ecologically grown food. She hopes all her time spent toiling away on the farm may actually change the world. The grant will be used to help create a permanent wash pack building!
