Our Philosophy

At Woven Roots Farm, we:

• Listen to the teachings of the Earth and commit ourselves to caring for her.

• Recognize and uplift the Indigenous understanding that the people and the land are inseparable.

• Understand that mutual aid is essential for existence and that this balance creates collective flourishing.

• Acknowledge that fresh, clean food is a basic human right and that growing healthy, vibrant food is our responsibility.

• Commit to being unapologetically abolitionist, anti-imperialist, anti-border, and anti-military. 

• Seek pathways of reparations, rematriation, and upliftment to all Indigenous peoples, particularly the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of the Mohican Nation— the direct descendants of the original stewards of the land we live on and tend to.

• Prioritize understanding both individual and collective interests and needs in our marginalized communities and weave deeply rooted, culturally respectful responses.

• Recognize our employees and the youth in our community as the future food growers and land stewards of our community and invest in them, through supportive and inclusive labor practices and educational opportunities.  

• Support creating equitable and participatory practices that build resilience in our community and recognize that community care is part of our collective liberation.

• Value small businesses, and choose to support fellow farmers, women, non-binary, queer and BIPOC entrepreneurs, and companies led by diverse teams that align with our values.

• Believe in listening to your intuition, following your heart, and living your passion.
