A pretty enchanting consolation prize after a seas

A pretty enchanting consolation prize after a season of hardly any veg gardening. The hand of our herb farm firmly turned our gaze to the seed starting, planting, tending, harvest, drying and processing of medicinal herbs over at @awakenherbs. Some squash, tomatoes, cukes and onions were started and tossed in the soil rather late in the game, and we had a few visits cut short by the herb to-do lists - yet, for the most part the veg garden was the neglected older sibling of a newborn. Though, it’s actually these lovely squash who will get the special spot in the parents’ room - it so happens that our room is the coldest spot in the house, so the squash get their own little “crib” not to far from our bed!
.
Other than seeing a pop of bright orange Red Kuri peeking through the lush squash foliage, these hearty and beautiful fruits were a surprise fall gift. So thankful for the nourishment and beauty that will follow us into fall. And for friends who helped us plant them!

On this National Day of Truth and Reconciliation..

On this National Day of Truth and Reconciliation... a little commitment from our fam... it’s not much, but it’s an honest check in. Meant as a sort of social contract, rather than a spotlight. Please read through to some notes at the end.

As a herb farm, festival, and land-based project we will revisit conversations about reparations and reciprocity, and work to find paths to more meaningful relationship and connection, in addition to paying reparations.

As a family, we will read more books by Indigenous authors, and continue to weave into our days conversations, questions, reflections - about past and current atrocities - as well as in celebration of Indigenous culture and joy.

As home learners, we will take the Indigenous Canada course and talk with our learning community about projects for this year to deepen awareness and understanding that can propel future action from the hands and hearts of our children.

And as a community member, mother, and all the other things, I will dig into learning and action in these ways, continue to check myself for appropriation, challenge myself to learn more, do more, get out of my comfort zone more, risk more, in love...

Edit: As much as I appreciate the love, I request that if you feel the urge to share this, please instead find an Indigenous voice to amplify.

AND: Please feel welcome to add your social contract below - it doesn’t have to be huge, just share an action you are committing to for this day, week, month, year or beyond... 🧡

🧡 We stand in solidarity with the Indigenous P

🧡
We stand in solidarity with the Indigenous Peoples of the land now called Canada. Our hearts are wrenched with grief and pound with rage. Our hands are ready to take action.
🧡
While I (Kris) have been connecting with individuals to provide herbal support where needed, it’s time for more. I recently had a vision of a community of respectful volunteer foragers harvesting supportive herbs for our Indigenous neighbours who are experiencing so much pain. To take on that labour while they carry the labour of grief, loss, and hopefully rest.
🧡
I’m not sure where to start with this. Other than the land we’re on - there are healing plants here. I will make space to help guide some harvest here. Are you interested to give your time to harvest? Is anyone here or any organization willing to bring the herbs to where they can be distributed? Herbalists who can make teas or other medicines to gift? Let’s talk.
🧡
Indigenous community - if you would be supported by some herbs, please reach out. We can send a list of herbs. Some include Anise Hyssop, Kinnikinnick, Horsetail, Pine, Spruce, Goldenrod, Wild Strawberry leaves, Wormwood, Pearly Everlasting, Wild Raspberry, and more.
