In the Field Since spring 2020, the Abenaki Land Link Project has been helping Vermont gardeners, homesteaders and farmers grow traditional crops for Abenaki citizens. On the last day of Open Farm Week, Chief Don Stevens of the Nulhegan Band of the Coosuk-Abenaki Nation joins up with Healthy Roots Collaborative and West Farm to lead an interactive exploration of the project. Attendants learn about seed saving and sustainable gardening, the historical significance of the three sisters crops, the legend of Mother Corn, and food sovereignty efforts to foster collaboration between the Abenaki people and the current stewards of their land.
