Michelle Week is a first-generation female native farmer. She owns and operates x̌ast sq̓it (hast squeit) which translates to Good Rain in the traditional language of the sngaytskstx (Sinixt) the Arrow Lakes Peoples, a one-acre mixed produce CSA, and raises heritage breed meat rabbits. Michelle is a descendant of the Indigenous Sinixt and French. The principles of Good Rain Farm are decolonizing diets, revitalizing culture, food sovereignty, and the returning to reverent sustainable land stewardship. She enjoys spending time with her two miniature donkeys, cozying up on the couch with her kitty cat, but most particularly time spent outdoors during cozy PNW grey, foggy days that cause the evergreens to pop, listening to the drip, drip of the moisture in the air.
