We are a small, multicultural organic farm, residential community, educational hub, and healing space located on ancient MiWok Land in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, California. Thirteen Sisters Farm is a sanctuary for learning, healing, reconnecting, decolonizing, remembering, and living in reciprocal relationship with the land, humans, and our more-than-human kin. In addition to cultivating food and medicine for the community, the farm acts as a gathering space to share our skills and stories, to embody deep care and inter-generational community support, and to learn from the elements and the seasons as our teachers. This grant will support infrastructure repair (broken well and hoop house), developing closed loop systems according to permaculture principals (biodynamic preparations and compost), land management and farm tools, food preservation, and soil health.
