Welcome to Breaking Bread, Farm Aid’s popular education Lunch and Listen series. The Highlander Center defines “popular education” as an opportunity to learn from each other’s shared lived experiences to build collective knowledge.
Breaking Bread: Lunch and Listen features stories that uplift the shared history of food and farming; organizing and resistance that’s got us to where we are now. We pair that history with work that folks are doing presently, that will inform the future we want for each other as it relates to farming and agriculture, food, culture and rural communities. This storytelling and making our narratives public is a key and critical part of community organizing. Please join us!
This month, join us for a powerful conversation on farmer mental health after climate disasters, featuring farmers and service providers from North Carolina and Washington State sharing their experiences, challenges and why prioritizing mental health is vital. You’ll hear from libby reed from Washington Farmland Trust, Angela Sorg with Purdue University Extension and farmer McKayla R. Robinette from the North Carolina Agromedicine Institute’s Farm and Ranch Stress Assistance Network.
Thankful for the land and those who steward it. Make a gift to Farm Aid now.
