a season of land access, medicine, and community at SUSU

we are inviting you to come into relationship with land, food, and community at your own pace during our season of open days, including access to the pick-your-own garden.

at SUSU, we practice food sovereignty. this means creating conditions where Black people, BIPOC, and people of the global majority and our ancestors shape how we relate to land and food. we replace commodification and extraction with direct connection, knowledge, and care.

in past seasons, food moved from our hands into our local community through our CSA box of resilience.

now, we are opening space for you to meet it where it grows. no need to arrive with prior knowledge.

this space is based on the understanding that food is medicine.

for many of us, those relationships have been disrupted, shaped by systems that separate us from land, our ancestors, and each other. providing a CSA box of resilience was one way of bridging those gaps, but we also wanted to create more opportunities to deepen your relationship with what you eat, to learn why certain plants have been used across generations, and to experience how food can support care, healing, and connection in everyday life - while being on the land.

you are welcome to come to the farm during designated open days to…

harvest seasonal Afro-Indigenous crops, herbs, and flowers when available

spend time on the land, resting, walking, or gathering with others

learn in informal, in-the-moment ways through conversation, observation, and shared practice

engage with plants as food, as medicine, and as part of living traditions

be in community without pressure, structure, or expectation

you come as you are, and you learn as you go.

all who are interested in being in right relationship with the land and community are welcome.
