Spring Updates

APRIL

We took a field trip to Wakulima USA’s newly-acquired 23-acre farmland, at the former Canter-Berry blueberry farm in Auburn. Maura was our gracious host and treated us to a delicious lunch. Wakulima’s plans for cultivation are already underway! Good news, they’ll still have U-pick blueberries.

MAY

We visited PICA-WA’s headquarters in Federal Way, with Rosi and her team to greet us with a warm welcome and a traditional foods lunch. We learned about their six sacred values that hold the work together, and about their 5 programs: Cultural Weavers, Pasifika Village Council, Wellness Navigation, Youth Navigation, and Pasifika Food Networks, including their onsite food pantry.

JUNE

Stay tuned for future news, including a decolonizing workshop on Scarcity vs Abundance training with Diana Mena of Esperanza Consulting, LLC.
