"It's been an honor to "grow" authentically with the land and learn directly from Mother Earth and other Indigenous Agricultural stewards across Indian Country of Turtle Island and many allies witnessing the journey and evolution. Developing  direct correlation in practice of the medicine wheel, spiritual connection to the plants, medicinal and food source has been life changing personally and with my family.  Longevity in this work requires self healing, stamina & accountability which requires constant reflection and humility.  Striving to continue to be a work in progress. Autonomy is necessary in how I choose to exist as this entity... business, family, community building, food sovereignty.  This is NOT a Me thing, but a We thing.  It’s all about being together in a good way.  That is what changes lives, one generation at a time."
