As we reflect on 2023, we would like to share a few words of gratitude for you all, our community.
We did a lot in 2022
2021 Year in Review
In our work we are met with failures and successes, sometime in the same project in the same week. We celebrate our success! And we are constantly learning from our missed steps and failures. And forever, we have a lot to learn. Here is to both celebrating 2021 and looking forward to 2022 and the commitment to continued learning, work and growth.
2020 Year in Review
We launched into 2020 with a clear strategic plan and vision for what this year would entail. Yet, just a month or so into that plan, the world changed around as we entered into a global pandemic. As the Buddhist teacher and author Pema Chödrön writes, “sometimes when things fall apart, well, that's the big opportunity to change.” And that has been our mantra for this year.
Looking to Indigenous Lands and Food Pathways
Land is where our work begins. As a team, we often share this sentiment as a way of creating context and structuring our engagement with farms, businesses and landscapes. A core tenant of our work lies in understanding the landscape that we are working in, what it is capable of producing and what it wants to be in its natural state.
