MOUNTAIN BOUNTY FARM NEWS
Week 47/52 of 2022
Reminder: We deliver shares for both Western Nevada County and Tahoe/Truckee/Reno on Wednesday, November 23rd. Pickup times and CSA sites remain the same. Have a great Thanksgiving!
Dear Farm Members,
As many of us gather with our friends and family this week and reflect on the many things we have to be grateful for, we'd like to take a moment to appreciate the Nisenan, who have inhabited and stewarded this region of foothills and river canyons for thousands of years, and represent a powerful voice within our community.
November marks Nisenan Heritage month, as well as Native American Heritage month in California. This is a great time to take a moment to learn about the Nisenan Rancheria and their constant work towards regaining federal recognition, as well as to fully appreciate their long history in this place.
Mountain Bounty operates entirely on unceded Nisenan Land - every item in your boxes, any produce that you purchase from us at Briar Patch or at Farmers market, is as much a result of their work to care for this land as it is ours. An incredible cause to support, and every little bit helps. To learn more, or to donate, check out their website at Nisenan.org.
Enjoy your shares week,
Grace
