We acknowledge that the land we farm is unceded territory of the Nipmuc and Mohegan peoples. We acknowledge their sovereignty and their long-standing presence on this land, which precedes the establishment of Connecticut state, and the United States of America. We also acknowledge that concepts like regenerative agriculture, silvopasture, and permaculture are recent names for ancient indigenous practices, and that current movements often fail to appropriately acknowledge the contributions of non-white people to a collective knowledge base. We try to farm in a way that honors this ancient wisdom.
