Indigenous Foodways - Urban Farm
The Indigenous Foodways program aims to promote Indigenous wisdom and traditional agricultural practices through knowledge exchange and community engagement. Emphasizing the importance of honourable practices, the Indigenous Foodways program aims to uphold the principles of an honourable harvest by maximizing the social and ecological impact. This includes growing traditional medicines and making them accessible to the community while building meaningful and respectful relationships of reciprocity.
The Urban Farm has two gardens as a part of the Indigenous Foodways program:
The Indigenous Foodways Programs welcomes requests for tours, programming, and collaborations by Indigenous-led internal and external groups.
Tours of the Indigenous Foodways crops and medicine garden will be led by Samantha Williams, the Indigenous-Led Programs Coordinator. If you have an idea or request that supports the goals of this initiative, please email swilliamsbarrantes@torontomu.ca.
