PROGRAMMING

THE PROGRAMS

FARMWORKERS IN CONVERSATION

Farmworkers in Conversation is an ongoing series that puts farmworkers of specific backgrounds, experiences, or career paths into conversation and connection with each other. Through the form of virtual events, panels, or other resources in print + online – there is opportunity for other farm workers as well as the general public to learn more about the diversity of farmworker experiences as well as farmworker visions for our collective farming futures.

FREE SCHOOL FOR FARM WORKERS

Free School for Farm Workers is community education for farmworkers. Inspired by the power of community education and specifically by anarchist free schools located all over the world, FreeSchool is a direct reaction to knowledge hoarding that we so often see and experience as workers on farms. Among us there is so much knowledge, lived experience and skill and this is a space where we can share information among each other and learn / create connections with each other as farmworkers. All Free School teach-ins topics come from needs and requests posed by farmworkers.

MEDITATION DROP-IN SESSIONS

In partnership with Oakland-based Meditation teacher, Anna Davda, we offer free monthly meditation drop-in sessions for workers. 

Each hour long session includes a short talk centered around a specific theme, a guided meditation and an opportunity to connect and share in small groups with other workers. 

STORYTELLING FELLOWSHIP

All the Farm’s a Stage is a 4 month storytelling fellowship for QTBIPOC farmworkers culminating in a virtual performance + virtual multimedia exhibit. This fellowship also aims to build relationships among the cohort of farmworkers and their communities. 

TALKS & TRAININGS

We host talks and trainings (in person and virtual) about centering workers on farms. We share what we have learned from hundreds of farmworkers through interviews, focus groups and surveys collected over several years. These workshops can be adapted based on the audience. Please reach out for more information and speaker rates.

Past workshops have been held at MOFGA, Pasa, Seeding Sovereignty, EcoFarm, OEFFA, La Semilla Food Center, Three Sisters Kitchen, and the National Young Farmers Coalition.
